A fun quiz

fidojoe · 12-08-2003, 12:13 AM

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?

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

Which of these candidates would be your choice?

Choose your answers, and I will post the answers in a second

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 and in case you never saw this one..

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

I thought these were hypothetical questions, LOL.

My all-time favorite answer to a hypothetical question came from my favorite poet, e.e. cummings.

When asked if he would hit a woman with glasses, he replied,

"No. I would hit her with a brick."

Those Congressional statistics are a bit disturbing, especially the spousal abuse, assault, and drunk driving!

Forgot to mention that whole Ted Kennedy's I-drove-my-car-off-a-cliff-into-a-resevoir-drowning-the-female-passenger-inside-with-me-and-I-forgot-to-mention-it-to-the-police-or-anyone-for-two-days unpleasantness, back in the late 70's. I think he might have gotten off w/ involuntary manslaughter or off scot-free...can't remember which. Anyone?

Yeah, I have seen this one quite a bit and is typically used as an argument from the anti-abortion side. It really is amazing what he did in his life.

I have also see the one about congress. Pretty scary who we have running the country.

Take er easy
