Joke of the Day
A Freshly Commissioned Second Lieutenant
The first salute received by a freshly commissioned Second Lieutenant is always significant. It's symbolizes authority and prestige. When I pinned on my new Air Force gold bars and stepped out to face the world, I encountered a staff sergeant. He gave me a snappy salute and said, "Good morning, Lieutenant. Your hat is on backwards, sir."
Stock
If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would be worth $49.00
With Enron, you would have had less than $16.50 left.
With Delta Air Lines you would have had $49.00 left.
With WorldCom you would have had $5.00 left.
But, if you would have purchased $1000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have had $214.00.Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.
It's called the 401-KEG Plan
