Can you imagine working for an organisation that has a little more
than 500 employees and has the following statistics?
29 have been accused of spouse 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
Can you guess which organisation this is?
It's the 535 members of the UK's Houses of Parliament, the same
group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the
rest of the Brits in line...
(Note: I personally haven't verified those figures.)
