Guest High Plains Drifter Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 An American view on the current 'problems' 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!

Guest TOSGcentral Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 "Lighten up"? Damn I cannot even use a smiley in the joke columns and get away with it now! Is it not wonderful how what is written can be so totally misconstrued? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
