What the Government Won't Tell You. Come on it's Funny!

By
Real Estate Agent with Ebby Halliday Realtors

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 $214.00.  Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. It is called the 401-KEG.

A recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year. That means that, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon! Makes you proud to be an American!

Hi Holt,

OMG, My 20 year old daughter would love to read this.  I will show her this when she comes back from her university class this evening.  She had a severe "hangover" from partying too much last night.  HYSTERICAL!!!

I just hope we VOTE SMART!!!  this time....

This has been around a few times but after the last week on the stock market I've decided to go buy a case of beer and just forget all about it!

Absolutely hilarious!    Thank you thank you for making my evening, in light of all the bad economic news.   Wonder if you added corn dogs to the beer if you could raise that gas mileage?

Hey Holt!

Hilarious post. I noticed you work for Ebby Halliday. I work in the Northeast Dallas office.

Maybe we will run into each other one day.

Very funny, or is it? At least you give us something to laugh at in an otherwise dismal situation.
