This email came across my desk today, and I thought it was too funny not to post. Enjoy!
-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 a recycling refund, you will have received $214.00!Makes you proud to be an American!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!
Disclaimer: This post is not intended to support alcoholism–but to increase the awareness of recycling. Example has not been proven factual, but proves promising considering the disarray of our economic institutions. I do not encourage anyone to purchase any stated amount of alcohol and lead by this example. There are plenty of aluminum cans littering our city- that are at your disposal for free. Please help keep our city GREEN!
