Normally I hate being forwarded e-mails, but I rather enjoyed this one. If this is old news, my apologies.

Begin forwarded message:


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 answer for this one.





Question 2 (a hypothetical):

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

Candidate A - Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologists. 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 answer.











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

By the way, the answer to the abortion question: If you said yes, you just killed Beethoven. Pretty interesting isn't it?




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

Can you guess which organization this is?

It's over half members of the United States Congress.
I cut out the crap about religion, and the condescending remarks about Congress and Bush leaving in only what I assume to be facts. If this gets moved to the general Lounge I'll understand - I just put it here because of how political it is.

Easy not to cheat on your wife if you're married just a few hours.

You also conveniently left out that Hitler was a convicted criminal.

Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.

He also injected methamphetamines eight times a day. He was a drug addict.

LOL, they also left out that tiny little thing called Genocide. Oh, but then what would the fun of that question be?

The genocide didn't happen until after he was elected.
