Two Tough Questions
This morning an Indian friend forwarded me an e-mail with the following text. Very interesting…
Read the questions before looking at the responses.
Question 1:
If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had syphilis, would you recommend that she have an abortion?
Question 2:
It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts. Here are the facts about the three 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 whiskey every evening.
- Candidate C: He is a decorated war hero. He’s a vegetarian, doesn’t smoke, drinks an occasional beer and never committed adultery.
Which of these candidates would be our choice? Decide first without peeping below… then see the responses.
Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Candidate B is Winston Churchill.
Candidate C is Adolph Hitler.
And, by the way, on your answer to the abortion question: If you said YES, you just killed Beethoven.
Makes a person think before judging someone.
Remember:
Amateurs … Built the ark.
Professionals … Built the Titanic

It is funny; ark was saving life; titanic drowned becuase of arrogance. Good analogy; but day to day usage of word conveys the opposite.
