Brian found this in cyberspace:

If you had purchased $1,000 worth of shares in Delta Airlines, one year ago, you would have $49 today.

If you had purchased $1,000 worth of shares in Lehman Brothers, one year ago, those shares would be worth $0 today.

But if you had purchased $1,000 worth of canned beer, one year ago, drunk all the beer, then turned in the cans for a recycling refund, you would have received $214.

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