Investments... in beer

"If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines a year ago, you will have $49 today. If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG a year ago, you will have $33. If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Bros a year ago, you will have $0. But if you purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for a recycling refund, you would have $214". - Bob Battle, quoted in the Washington Times.
