-->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 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

373 in total or approximately 70%

Can you guess which organization this is?










Give up yet?

(Ich, als Greenhorn glaubte es handle sich um die Mitarbeiter im Weissen Haus).



























It's the 535 members of the SOUTH AFRICAN PARLIAMENT -
(The same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line!)


You gotta pass this one on! Far and wide!

Hi Emerald,

glaube keiner Statistik...

Das Problem hierbei ist, dass die Fälle aufsummiert werden, obwohl es sehr wahrscheinlich klingt, dass es Personen gibt, die mehrere der angesprochenen Eigenschaften haben (z.B. die Kreditkarten-Probleme und Anklagen etc.).
Von daher sind es dann mindestens 117, die problematisch sind und höchstens 373. Die Wahrheit liegt wie immer in der Mitte:-)

Beste Grüsse,
