If you had purchased £1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago,
you would have
£49.00 today.

If you had purchased £1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you would
have
£33.00 today.

If you had purchased £1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago,
you would 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 aluminium cans for recycling refund, you
would have received
£214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink
heavily & recycle.

A recent study found that the average Briton walks about 900 miles a
year.
Another study found that Britons drink, on average, 22 gallons of
alcohol a year.
That means that, on average, Britons get about 41 miles to the
gallon!

Don't worry about old - all the ones I post have been round the world a couple of times before they get to me. Just have a laugh or not as the case may be. They may be oldie but they are still goodie.
