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 £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 eh!!!

I've just copied that on my phone and sent it to my mates! quality stuff.

Actually, I just checked the figures, and – assuming you can stand to drink that much cheap lager AND the cans are aluminium, you’d only get £13.60 back.
Steel cans are even worse – 4 quid if you’re lucky.
Better than Lehman's though

Although I did think the figure quoted was somewhat too high, not even I am bloody pedantic enough to check on the scrap value of aluminium to disprove a JOKE! :nono:

I don't think I'm getting 41mpg either, but they made me smile, thanks bluebell.





Now how much did I have to drink last night and where's that pedometer?

 

[bluebell]

Old bloke I think it is from the US and they sometimes have a deposit on bottles and cans - hence the high figure.
But as Moley says if is a JOKE so checking the figures makes you sad or bored - stop wasting good drinking time :drink: :drunk:

22 gallon I must be drinking somebody else's quota, if it's a member on here I apologize.

BB :drink:

I don't get out much...
I'd done all my Lexulous moves, got up to #2 on the Bejewelled blitz chart, had a game of backgammon and PeggleWoW, checked all the forums, and had nothing else to do...
I was just suddenly intrigued by the idea it /might/ actually be viable, but it took remarkably little Googling to disprove it.

Run your figures at 5cents a can.
Thats a standard reclaim free.
