    TWO TOUGH QUESTIONS AND A REALITY BITE

    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.

    Canidate 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.

    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.




    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

    I choose no for the abortion question because indeed abortion is illegal in this country.

    I chose A for the election question because it sounded the most realistic, C (you thinking most people would choose it) gives the least information about their political side. Although all 3 don't give too much at all.

    The last one didn't tickle my fancy though =/
