Tough questions... from email I received recently..
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?
Read the next question before looking at the response for this one.
Question 2:
It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts.
Here are the facts about the three candidates. Who would you vote for?
Candidate A
Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologist. 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 cheated on his wife.
Which of these candidates would be our choice?
Decide first... no peeking for the response.
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 did away with Beethoven.
Pretty interesting isn't it? Makes a person think before judging someone.
Never be afraid to try something new.
Remember:
Amateurs...built the ark.
Professionals...built the Titanic

Marriage jokes
You have two choices in life:
You can stay single and be miserable or get married and wish you were dead.
At a cocktail party, one woman said to another,
’Aren’t you wearing your wedding ring on the wrong finger?’
’Yes, I am. I married the wrong man.’
A lady inserted an ad in the classifieds:
’Husband Wanted’.
Next day she received a hundred letters.
They all said the same thing:
’You can have mine.’
When a woman steals your husband,
there is no better revenge than to let her keep him.
A woman is incomplete until she is married. Then she is finished.
A little boy asked his father,
’Daddy, how much does it cost to get married?’
Father replied, ‘I don’t know son, I’m still paying.’
A young son asked,
’Is it true dad, that in some parts of Africa
a man doesn’t know his wife until he marries her?’
Dad replied, ‘That happens in every country, son.’
Then there was a woman who said,
’I never knew what real happiness was until I got married,
and by then, it was too late.’
Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.
If you want your spouse to listen and
pay strict attention to every word you say—talk in your sleep.
Just think if it weren’t for marriage, men would go through life thinking they had no faults at all.
’A Woman’s Prayer:
Dear Lord, I pray for: Wisdom, to understand a man, to Love and to forgive him, and for patience, for his moods. Because Lord, if I pray for Strength I’ll just beat him to death ‘
