A friend sent this to me and I thought you might find it interesting:

If you had purchased $1000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you will have $49 today.

If you had purchased $1000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you will have $33 today.

If you had purchased $1000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you will have $0 today.

But, if you had purchased $1000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, you will have received $214. 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.
