Default Can you imagine working for this company?

It has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics:

(1) 29 have been accused of spousal abuse.

(2) 7 have been arrested for fraud.

(3) 19 have been accused of writing bad checks.

(4) 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 companies each.

(5) 3 have done time for assault.

(6) 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit.

(7) 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges.

(8) 8 have been arrested for shoplifting.

(9) 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits.

(10) 84 have been arrested for drunk driving within the past year.











These are the 535 members of the United States House of Representatives, the same people who pass hundreds of laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

Sorry to ruin the fun, but I call "BS".

Where did you get these, ahem, "facts"?

I think some may be true - for instance I believe that it is possible for that many lawsuits to be opened, but c'mon 84 for DUI in the last year and 71 can't get a credit card?
