Clearing out the strays

Investment Tips

So, you think that the economic people I follow don't really know their stuff? Well, ye of little faith, I send sound advice your way:

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 aluminum cans for the recycling refund,
you would have received $214.00.

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

It is called the 401-Keg.

And a bonus tip...

A recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a
year. Another study found that on average Americans drink 22 gallons of
alcohol a year. That means that the average American gets about 41
miles to the gallon!

Makes you damned proud to be an American!





It just occurred to me that the Secret Service scandal was only discovered
after a disagreement regarding how much a prostitute wanted for her services
came to light.

She wanted $800.00. The Secret Service Agent offered $30.00. How ironic is
it that the only person in Washington trying to cut spending. . . . . gets fired?

"When I joined the military it was illegal to be homosexual, then it became
Optional, and now it's Legal. I'm getting out before Obama makes it mandatory."
