Fun fact!

cell4me · 04-13-2006, 08:18 AM

Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more
than 500 employees and has the following statistics:
* 29 have been accused of spousal abuse
* 7 have been arrested for fraud
* 19 have been accused of writing bad checks
* 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
* 3 have done time for assault
* 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
* 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
* 8 have been arrested for shoplifting
* 21 are currently def endants in lawsuits
* 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year

Can you guess which organization this is?

It's the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same group
that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest
of us in line.

Hehe, well as Winston Churchill said: "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others that have been tried." There's another fun fact that I need to dig up related to this, you'll like it.

I bet if you applied the same filter to any company, it would come out similar. When it comes down to it, people screw up... Look how old these geezers are... they had fun.

They now make the rules, to stop us from doing it.

Speaking of Winston Churchill...lol!

It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts. Here
are the facts about the three candidates.

Candidate A.
Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologist. He's
had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.

Candidate B.
He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium in
college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.

Candidate C.
He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an
occasional beer and never cheated on his wife.

Which of these candidates would be your choice? Decide first... no
peeking, then scroll down for the response.

Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Candidate B is Winston Churchill.
Candidate C is Adolph Hitler.

LOL, we all got the same email.

"Question 1:
If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who
were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had syphilis,
would you recommend that she have an abortion?

Read the next question before looking at the response for this one.

Question 2:
It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts. Here
are the facts about the three candidates.

Candidate A.
Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologist. He's

-------------------------------------------------------------

Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Candidate B is Winston Churchill.
Candidate C is Adolph Hitler.

And, by the way, on your answer to the abortion question: If you said
YES, you just killed Beethoven.

Pretty interesting isn't it? Makes a person think before judging someone.
Wait till you see the end of this note! Keep reading..

Never be
afraid to try something new.

Professionals...built the Titanic

And Finally, can you imagine working for a company that
has a little more
than 500 employees and has the following statistics:
* 29 have been accused of spousal abuse
* 7 have been arrested for fraud
* 19 have been accused of writing bad checks

Yeah, we did this in our American History class, and most people chose Hitler. It's kinda weird...But just cuz someone is a vegetarian, doesnt smoke, doesnt cheat on his wife, and doesnt drink, doesnt mean they aren't the most evil person ever. But, he somehow made it to the top, so I guess it influenced a lot of people.
