Investing 101
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 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!

I get what you're trying to accomplish with the first story, but it's not quite factual. The price of Aluminum has gone down significantly, and someone misplaced a decimal when they calculated it.
To make the numbers work out you need to pay around $.10 a beer. If you want to drink that... go right ahead!
