Retirement plans

[Sir Die-a-lot]

Here for you all not already at AARP status.

If you had purchased $1,000 of Delta Air Lines stock one year ago, you would have $49 left.
With Enron, you would have $16.50 left.
With World Com, you would have less than $5 left.
But if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all of the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have had $214.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

It's called the 401-Keg.....

Hmm by my math, I worked out 37 cases of bottles (drinking the cheap stuff at 26.40 a case) x 24 bottles x $0.10 per bottle return (not counting the empties left elsewhere) that would net me $88.80 in returns... I guess us Canadians miss out on all the investment tricks that net more in the U.S.

Still not too shabby though if you count the fringe benefits

You chaps still get refunds on returns!!!!
I remember that when I was little, but man that sort of thing went out with the ark.
We all recycle everything now in the UK, we don't have any rubbish everything is washed & put to a good use by small creatures called Wombles that live on Wimbledon Common.

Wombles are pointy-nosed furry creatures that live in burrows, where they help the environment by collecting and recycling rubbish in useful and ingenious ways. Their motto is Make Good Use of Bad Rubbish. This "green" message was a reflection of the ecology movement of the 1970s. Although Wombles live in every country in the world, the stories focus on the life of the burrow in Wimbledon Common in London, England.

Hmmm that financial crisis eh, I think my pension is growing smaller by the day. It's a damn good job I asked the chaps to invest it in a high risk fund last year. Otherwise I might have had to retire at 65 & spend more time with the wife!!

There goes his kids' money!

Gee Lou Tenant,

You got it the wrong way round.

Maybe you should have let the furry little critters manage your fund and given your rubbish to the financial adviser.
