Hey people, some tough questions for you to answer:

QUESTION 1: If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had eight (8)kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded and she had syphilis (S.T.D.), would you recommend that she have an abortion?

Read the next question before scrolling down to the answer of this one.

QUESTION 2: It is time to elect a new world leader, and 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 whisky every evening.

Candidate C: He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an occasional beer and hasn't had any extramarital affairs.

Which of these candidates would be your choice? Decide first, no peeking, then scroll down for the answer.

1. Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt
2. Candidate B is Winston Churchill
3. Candidate C is Adolph Hitler

And by the way: 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.

Remember, amateurs built Noah's Ark!!! Professionals built the Titanic!!!

humor: lawyers jokes

 

lawyers' lampoons

a man goes into a pet shop to buy a parrot. the shop owner points to three identical parrots on a perch and says, " the parrot on the left costs $500."

" why does it cost so much?" asks the man, incredulous.  the owner says, " well, the parrot knows how to do legal research."

the man then asks about the next parrot and is told that one costs a whooping $1000 because it can do everything the other parrot can do, plus it knows how to write a brief that will win any case in any court.

naturally, the increasingly startled man asks about the third parrot and is told that it costs $2000! he asks, " what can it do?"

" to be honest," the owner replies, " i have never seen it do a thing but the other two parrots call him Senior Partner."
