You know, there are some really dumb people out there.
Case in point. A question sent in to USA Today columnist Matt Krantz. And I quote,
“Q: My wife and I bought Delta Air Lines (DAL) stock many years ago when the company was doing well. Now I hear I’ve lost everything. Can I sue the company?”
While Matt basically told him he was SOL, but he could always consider becoming part of a class action lawsuit, (uh-huh) here is what I would have told this guy.
“I tell you what sir. How ’bout you forget about suing the company and pay more attention to your investments. ‘Now I hear I’ve lost everything.’ Say what? Have you been in a cave for the last two years?”
<shaking my head>
Then again, I guess I could just say, “Good goes round.”
Speaking of, I heard that when Delta held their big employee party a couple of weeks ago –the video that was presented at the eventĀ included clips of old advertising campaigns and itĀ included clips from all of them except one. Yep. You guessed it. “Good goes round” was nowhere to be found.
Shame. It’s a real classic. I hope someone has the video clips saved somewhere.
