Interesting stats!
Two Interesting Questions:

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:
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, doesh't smoke, drinks an occasional beer and never cheated on his wife.

Which of these candidates would be your choice? Decide first, no peeking.






Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Candidate B is Winston Churchill.

Candidate C is Adolph Hitler.



And, by the way, the 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.

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember: Amateurs built the ark.
Professionals built the Titanic


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 of diots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

Ava Braun was Hitler's mistress. Doesn't that mean he cheated on his wife? :shrug:

3. another suggestion:
it's a time of turmoil in the country, and this woman wants an abortion, but you talk her out of it

you've just killed Saddam!
oh, wait...

this tripe's been gurgling around the e-mails a while, like the "we ate lead-paint chips and some of us survived" e-mail (I'm referring to the abortion one. And didn't Noah cheat by having divine guidance?)

4. The Congress thing's an urban legend.
Nicely debunked here: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/congress.htm


The Candidate A, B, and C thing I loved though. Thanks for that.
