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.

Who would you vote for?

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.

I guess it goes to show that what we do in the past isn't always a great predictor of what we will be when we grow up.

Great tidbits.

you're kidding, right?? I guess Traudl Junge, Gerda Christian, and Else Krüger were wrong that they witnessed his wedding the day before he killed himself??

I bet you believe Hitler actually said this too...

"1935 will go down in History! For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient and the world will follow our lead to the future!"

Getting married the day before you kill yourself hardly counts as being married. And in the context of the OP it also makes it very easy NOT to have an affair.

And it has been pretty well proven that Hitler never made that statment.
