If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago,
it would now be worth $49.00.

With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original
$1000.00.

With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left.

If you had purchased $1000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock, you
would have $49.00 left.

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year
ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling
REFUND, you would have had $214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to
drink heavily and recycle.

It's called the 401-Keg Plan.

if it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all

Every few months we turn in all the plastic bottles and cans we used. Often it pays for a real nice night out or weekend fuel funds. :good
Summers we collect even more when we clean a beach we land on for the day in Havasu... :good Its like being paid.

Ain't life Grand? Treat it that way.

Hmmm, I may need to start saving our cans.... We recycle, but I should just take them to the place down the street for a little $$ to put towards more drinking expenses. :beer

Were running about $1.85 with the CA CRV's. Math isn't right. Does AZ have CRV's?

Thanks. Speaking of the jackpot reminded me I have to buy a lotto ticket. $280.000,000, somebody's gotta win. Damn, with $280 mil, I could get a new Elimininator and be able to buy fuel to get me up and down the channel a couple of times.
