Getting More Miles To the Gallon?
Written by diane on October 9, 2008 – 9:52 am -Received this humorous email from my sister this morning. And, although, we posted some REAL information for you already today (see our earlier post [below]), I just couldn’t resist.
We all need a few laughs right about now:
If you purchased $1000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you have $49.00 today.
If you had purchased $1000 of shares in AIG one year ago you would have $33.00 today.
If you purchased $1000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago you have $0.00 today.
But if you had purchased $1000 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!
