Default Best Oshkosh Investment

If you had bought $1000 of Nortel stock one year ago,
it would now be worth $49.00.
With Enron, you would have $16.50 of the original
$1000.
With Worldcom, you would have less than $5.00 left.

If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Miller Lite (the
beer, not the stock) one year ago, drank all the beer,
then turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you
would have $214.00
Based on the above, my current investment advice is to
drink heavily and recycle. This is my new retirement
program, I call it my 401 Keg program.

Dang. We only get five cents a can here in Iowa. :-(

Ah -- yet ANOTHER reason to drink more beer! :-)

Hmmm...I smell an opportunity! You could ditch the hotel and go into the
can-deposit-export business.

Wow! Between doing that, smuggling cigarettes from Kentucky, prescription
drugs from Canada, and illegal aliens from Texas, I'll be flying that
Citation any day now!
