Friend gave me this...sure makes me want to check the facts...I wouldn't doubt it's validity though...kinda makes me go Hmmmm...Bushy quote:What a Company
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?
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.

    Seen this previously and wondered about it's accuracy, but as Classic noted, most likely worse.

    Urban Legend. But why bother to check the facts when you can just admit you haven't and cut and paste it anyway. As a wise, old philosopher once said:

    Yes, and the statement above is so representative of the ethic you so proudly claim in your quote. Pathetic.

    DWS...Yep...common and proud...decent towards others...I try to not insult or ridicule...and proud of it...and if that is pathetic in your mind,I feel sorry for you...must be lonely at the top...why is it that you don't say in your profile where you live or what you do?...Bushy

    An even more pathetic hypocrite. Keep editing; you'll soon absolve yourself of original sin.
