This will give you a memory blast...
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?

Give up yet?










It's the 535 members of the United States Congress.

5. Has that been updated since the election?
Just curious -- I've been seeing that around for awhile now, long enough that there have to have been at least two congressional changeovers.
