Hermes: You invest this penny like you wanted.
Dwight: Thanks, Dad. I'm gonna take this and buy five shares of Amazon.com.
Hermes: A risk-taker? That's my boy!
In today's shares Amazon peaked at $5/share in December 1999 (adjusting for splits etc) but by early 2003 had collapsed to about $1.
Certainly enough to joke about it as a cartoon writer.
Today of course it's $250 a share.
