I got the following in an E-Mail today... no idea how legit it is but I think it's a funny email anyways so enjoy with a pinch of salt!

Quote

Question #1:
If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had eight 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 the first 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. Who would you vote for?

Candidate A:
Associates with crooked politicians and consults with an astrologist. He's had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and rinks eight-to-ten martinis a day.

Candiadte 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 your choice?

Decide first... no peeking... then scroll down for the response...

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

And by the way... on your answer to the abortion question... if you said YES, you just killed Beethoven.

Try something new: remember...

Amateurs ... built the ark.
Professionals ... built the Titanic.

And finally, can you imagine working for a company with a little more than 500 employees and the following statistics:
29 have been accused of spousal abuse
7 have been arrested for fraud
19 have been accused of writing bad cheques
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 defnedants 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.

Sorta makes you think eh? hehe

I enjoyed it at least.

Pfft, you can use statistics to prove anything. Forfty-percent of all people know that.

Edit: *splits lip laughing at orth's haiku*

ycleption · « **Reply #3 on:** March 30, 2007, 03:03:30 PM »

Yes, but as we all know, 73.5% percent of all statistics (+/- 2%) are made up on the spot.

Meh...beat me to it Orth.

Mmm, word games.

Though, honestly, Hitler was an amazing force of empowerment for Germany - took 'em out of a depression and made them an earth-shaking World Power. A bloody shame what he did with all that possibility.

Oh, and if it counts for anything, I'd have picked Churchill on that one. He seemed normal.

Thats why we have a queen here! hmmm... even though she doesn't decide anything really :p

Stephen_Zuckerman · « **Reply #7 on:** April 01, 2007, 10:04:23 AM »

Well, as I understand it, she's head of the Church of England.

Niles09 · « **Reply #8 on:** April 01, 2007, 10:36:31 AM »

the danish queen?!

Stephen_Zuckerman · « **Reply #9 on:** April 01, 2007, 12:43:42 PM »

*Laughs.* Nevermind. Didn't notice the whole Denmark location thing.

The Queen of ENGLAND, on the other hand...

LOL silly Niles, Jackie Chan is Chinese.. har! And thank you for the post OneST8, it does make you think.. and I too also picked Winston Chruchill b/c there are no such thing as a perfect person let alone a perfect leader .. maybe L himself start something new with this world ;-)

Another reason why I picked Churchill, well.. interesting enough, most alcoholic drinks contain all 13 minerals necessary to sustain human life.. so i don't have a problem with WL drinking in moderation.. brilliant fact eh? lets all drink to that.. LOL

Stephen_Zuckerman · « **Reply #13 on:** April 01, 2007, 07:06:11 PM »

A quarter gallon of whisky every evening is NOT moderation. *Laughs.*

But we already have a WL who drinks, and something like three gallons in the morning, four at lunch, and six in the evening.

His name's Varka.

oneqtbebe · « **Reply #14 on:** April 01, 2007, 07:10:11 PM »

should we have a drinking contest Stephen? LOL hahahaha just to test out the theory..

Stephen_Zuckerman · « **Reply #15 on:** April 02, 2007, 07:18:40 AM »

You wouldn't like me when I'm drunk.

Though... o.o Here's another question.

Why does Aiden want me drunk?

oneqtbebe · « **Reply #16 on:** April 03, 2007, 02:31:34 AM »

LOL normally when i'm talking on 'FUN' forum, i'm not in charc.. so it's not Aiden that wants to you drink.. *giving him an obvious gesture by raising the right eye brow*

Stephen_Zuckerman · « **Reply #17 on:** April 03, 2007, 09:09:45 AM »

Oneqtbebe, then. Why DO you want me drunk? *Laughs.* I'm not a dwarf.

Or so we are led to believe.

You could be three feet tall for all we know.

Short people freak me out.

Actually, I'm 5'7.5"
