Sick of the stock market? Here's free investment advice...

"This intriguing stock theory is said to have originated from
the desk of John A. Millard of Shearman & Sterling in New
York. "If you had bought $1,000 worth of Nortel stock one year
ago, it would now be worth $49.00. With Enron, you would have
$16.50 of the original $1,000. With WorldCom, you would have
less than $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000 worth of
Budweiser (the beer, not the stock) one year ago, drank all the
beer, then turned in the cans for the 5-cent deposit, you would
have $107. Based on the above, my current investment advice is
to drink heavily and recycle."

.... don't they pay 10-cents in Michigan?

OH DAMN!!!

Now that's funny.

...and it's 10 cents up here too, but with the US/CDN exchange rate we'd owe like $1.12.
