    Email I recieved from an American friend of mine so appologies if you have already seen this, but made my laugh.


    2 VERY TOUGH QUESTIONS!!!


    Q1.
    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.


    Q2:
    It is time to elect a new world leader, and only
    your vote counts. Here are the facts about the three
    candidates. Who would you vote for?


    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 our 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.

    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.
    Remember: Amateurs...built the ark.
    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
    * 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 defendants in lawsuits
    * 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the
    last year...

    Can you guess which organization this is?


    Give up yet?

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

    Sean Pa, you DO know about Snopes, don't you?

    But hell, I'll play:

    Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 600 employees and has the following statistics?

    29 have been accused of spouse abuse
    7 have been arrested for fraud
    19 have been accused of writing bad cheques
    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 defendants in lawsuits
    84 have been arrested for drink driving in the last year

    Which organisation is this?

    It's the 646 members of the House of Commons, the same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.
