During a time where we slam the NFL and NBA for the exploits of our athletes....
Just something to think about.

Are the numbers below talking about the NFL or the NBA?​

​

​

36​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

Neither,

United States Congress​

​

​

​

​

The same group of Idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year
designed to keep the rest of us in line.​

This was sent to me by a fellow teacher earlier today.​

Honestly Kel, what are you expecting? Plato's Philosopher Kings?

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

This is from an old email, although based on national averages a random drawing of 435 people would likely yield similar results.

Honestly Kel, what are you expecting? Plato's Philosopher Kings?

They had sex with young boys.

 

[Franklin Richards]

I saw this email a few years back.

 

[Paradoxium]

Few years? Almost a decade, it was written in 1999

[The Senator]

That email forgot to mention that there are now 2 evil Muslim terrorists in Congress plotting to overthrow the United States government with their insidious multiculturalist views

Well, Congress DOES have Mark Foley in it's esteemed alumni, and I'm willing to bet he's not the only one guilty of the whole sex with young boys thing, so at least Plato's Philosopher Kings and Congress have that in common.
