A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her
5 and 6 year-olds. After explaining the commandment "Honor thy Father

how to treat our brothers and sisters?

Without missing a beat one little boy answered, "Thou shall not kill."

Several women appeared in court, each accusing the other of the trouble 
they were having in the apartment building where they lived.
The judge, with Solomon-like wisdom decreed, "I'll hear the oldest first."

The case was closed for lack of evidence. 

Can you imagine working for this organization? It has less than 550 
employees with the following statistics:

*3 have been arrested 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 current defendants in lawsuits
*In 1998 alone, 84 were stopped for drunk driving 

Can you guess which organization this is?

It's the 535 members of The United States Congress;
the same group that cranks the laws designed to
keep the rest of us in line.
