    Can you imagine working for a company that has a little over 500 employees, yet 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 organization this is?

    They are members of the British Houses of Parliament, that's the same group that produces hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in check.

    Oh. Funny if it was true. I'm sure if someone tried they could come up with something similar based on fact.

    most big companies are run by psycopaths / egomaniacs and many big companies break the law on a regular basis such that they are permenantly in court

    Be nice if someone could do one for the Dáil & other parts of the establishment
    eg
    number of drunk drivers
    % of publicans
    number who have had a murderer found in their house
    number who have businesses burnt down when getting a job in the EU
    number who have three or more pensions
