I had no idea! I feel so much better now!
Subject: Understanding the current financial crisis
To help you better understand the financial crisis in which our
country finds itself, I have attempted to put it in terms common
people, like you and me, can easily understand...If you had purchased
$1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you will have $49.00
today. If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you
will have $33.00 today. If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in
Lehman Brothers one year ago, you will 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 recycling refund, you will have
received $214.00. Based on the above, the best current investment plan
is to drink heavily & recycle. It is called the 401-Keg.
A recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a
year. Another study found that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons
of alcohol a year. That means that, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon!
Makes you proud to be an American!
