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
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 has never divorced.
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.
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
* 19have been accused of writing bad checks
* 117have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
* 3have 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
* 21are 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 people that crank out hundreds of new laws each year
designed to keep the rest of us in line.

Great reminder that our judgements have consequences too.
I did know some of those facts about our Congress so I got that one. We like to think that this group should rise above the human frailties that dog the rest of us, but it just ain't true.
Musical instruments aside (I play the tin ear) now we are back on topic.x:D
No surprises at all with the various shenanigans of Congress. 8-|
Apparently people with limited humor go back to the well often. x:D
I don't think he'll be helpful in garnering votes for you.
I shall, wisely I'm sure, withhold any breasts comments!
I had previously read that about Beethoven and did not abort him. I have also read about Churchill and voted for him. As for the derilects, I thought someone was talking about the Clinton administration. Oh well, I guess congress is close enough.
As for the breast issue, if you have been watching "My big fat obnoxious Fiance'" you'll know why the breast thing is taboo!!
