Time to invest in beer?

[aaronc879]

A friend sent this to me and I thought it'd go over well here.

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!

I get less than a mile per gallon.

I don't drink at all, so I get great mileage! I suppose that my miles per gallon would be infinite.

I suspect you are running on some alternate source. Nobody is without vice.

I don't smoke, drink, or do drugs. But...you are right. Sugar is my vice! I try to avoid it completely, but to no avail.

Alcohol is just fermented sugars. We're on the same page. It's like the difference between regular and diesel.

Guess I'm on the road to ruin, then!

Don't drink, don't smoke...

Don't drink, don't smoke...

Not only that, I divide by zero. Definitely an oddball!

I invest in the harder stuff...it doesn't take as long.
