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 recycling refund, you would have received a £214.00.


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


A recent study found that the average Briton walks about 900 miles a year.



Another study found that Britons drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.



That means that, on average, Britons get about 41 miles to the gallon!




Makes you proud to be British, doesn't it?

Very clever haha
