Financial crisis solution

A friend of mine sent me the following e-mail.  I figured we could all use a laugh after last week's bumpy ride on Wall Street.

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's called the 401-Keg.
