Something to think about...

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 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 defendants in lawsuits
       84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year
 

 


        373 in total or approximately 70%
         Can you guess which organization this is?
        Give up yet?
        It's the 535 members of the SOUTH AFRICAN PARLIAMENT

actually the correct answer to this is -
"It's the 535 members of the United States Congress"

This has been floating around the internet since the 90's and somewhere along the line someone thought it would a good read to change it to say South Africa... Then again, I've also seen a UK and Australian version....
