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.

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? Decide first, no peeking, then scroll down for the answer.

ANSWERS

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

* 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

Thank you for posting that! It is hilarious! I read the candidate scenario to my husband and he remarked that Candidate B sounded like Winston Churchill without my prompting! After that, the identity of the other 2 candidates just fell in place for him. Sheesh! Guess that's what I get for marrying someone smarter than I am!

Sincerely,
divinia

P.S. I voted for Adolf Hitler! Yikes!

oh hey, yeah, I picked Roosevelt because of the astrologer thing too!

But what's this about the ducks? Their quacks don't echo?? That freaks me out, dude. *twilight zone musak here* I mean, I never thought of ducks as being sinister before, but now....that's just eerie.

Okay, I hate to be something of the wet blanket and Goddess knows I'm not often the one to come to the defense of Congress, or many other federally elected officials, but I feel the need to point out that Snopes has a preetty fervent denouncement of the 'criminal' list of Congress. It could be true or it could be a load of B.S. ..take it with a mighty big grain o salt. http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/congress.htm

But all in all, Great forward, N_wEvil, thanks for sharing.

Okay, so yeah, I tried to lick my elbow. And I also fear spiders more than death.
