*JUST IMAGINE.. * * If you had bought $1,000.00 of Qantas shares one year ago, you would have $49.00 today! If you bought $1,000.00 AIG shares one year ago, you would have $33.00 today! If you bought $1,000.00 worth of Lehman Brothers shares one year ago, you would have $0.00 today! BUT.... if you purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then returned the aluminum cans for recycling.... YOU WOULD HAVE RECEIVED $214.00!!! BASED ON THE ABOVE, THE BEST CURRENT INVESTMENT PLAN IS TO DRINK HEAVILY AND RECYCLE! AND,DID YOU KNOW... A recent study found that the average Aussie walks 900 MILES A YEAR!!! Another study found that Aussies drink, on average, 22 GALLONS OF ALCOHOL A YEAR!!! THAT MEANS THAT, ON AVERAGE, AUSSIES GET ..... 41 MILES TO THE GALLON. **MAKES YOU PROUD TO BE AN AUSSIE DOESN'T IT?*
