Interesting statistics
 
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!



:D

Glad I do not work on Wall Street.

In a recent email, my brother informed me of two scary thoughts.

100% of divorces began with marriage, an even more scary, 50% of marriages end in death.

I'm disturbed.

Don't you love playing with numbers? :)

Sometimes.

I know, there are some other things a lot more fun to play with. :)
