Would you work for this company?
Sat Dec 18, 2004 8:50 pm
Do you fancy 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 ...
Any ideas? (Answer below)
It's the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

Well, I would have worked there, but then I found out it was the government and there's no way I'm gonna work for the man!
Nah, seriously this is a tad scary. Ah well.

Maybe they think because they're in government they can get away with anything...
