Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink, I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, it is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than to be selfish and worry about my liver!:p

I'm with ya on this!!! We all need to do our part to help our fellow man reach his dreams, so I'll reach into the fridge for another beer.

Re: Doing your part...

It get's better. You are planning for the future.

If you had bought $1,000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00.

With Enron, you would have $16.50 of the original $1,000.00.

With MCI/Worldcom, you would have less than $5.00 left.

If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Miller Genuine Draft (the beer, not the stock) one year ago,
drunk all the beer then turned in the cans for the 10-cent deposit, you would have $214.00.

Based on the above, 401KegPlan.com's current investment advice is to take that $5.00 you have left over
And drink lots and lots of beer and recycle.
:D

Re: Doing your part...

I've got a funny story...

I work for a rep firm & we sell industrial process controls. One of our customers is Diageo who has a local plant here in MD that bottles, among other things, my favorite beverage - Capt Morgan spiced rum.

I get a call one Monday am from them looking for a liquid leak detector for alcohol. I had a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach & asked if it was on the Morgan line & sure enough it was...imagine my shock & horror!

Well, I made an investment & GAVE them the leak detector - with instructions that if it ever goes into alarm, they are to call me immediately & I will show up pronto to put my yap over the pipe!

Haven't got the call yet, though.
