Just imagine... 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 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 plan.
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 damned proud to be an American!

I've latched onto the principle, though I struggle with the numbers:
Buying $10 worth of beer will yield $2.14 for the empties at the recycling depot....?
Oh how I wish it were so.
They probably meant beer, @ 4% alcohol by volume. Most of that distance then would have been travel to the toilet.
Cheers
see now there both of you go trying to confuse me with maths.
