I think I recall seeing this somewhere before, but I'm not positive. Anyway, it is rather interesting. Read it slow and don't skip ahead.
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 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.
