Economics lesson

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago,
you would have $49.00 today!
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you would
have $33.00 today.
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago,
you would have $0.00 today.
But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all
the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for the recycling refund, you
would have received $214.00.
Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink
heavily & recycle.
It is called the 401-Keg.
And as a bonus...
A recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a
year. Another study found that on average Americans drink 22 gallons of
alcohol a year. That means that the average American gets about 41 miles
to the gallon!
Makes you damned proud to be an American!

Sometimes one has to just sit back and face the realities of economics. I am one who likes to sample the craft beers of Michigan, the other night after a round of golf I stopped and tried a new one they had on tap. After a bit the waitress came back and asked me how it tasted. I smiled and told her "Tastes like another one."
