Proud to be an America

[alfsauve]

This is making the rounds:

========================
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 a $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.

I'll drink to that, and walk all the way to the fridge numerous times. Bluto agrees.
