Can You Guess Who Fits the Bill?

ARL stands for Australian Rugby League and AFL stands for Australian Football League.

Does the following apply to the ARL, the AFL?

  • 36 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, repeat 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 currently are defendants in lawsuits, and
  • 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year

Can you guess which organisation this is?

Neither, it's the 535 members of the Australian Parliament in Canberra.

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

I was leaning towards the ARL with all the news coverage of the antics their players get up to. I am surprised to think that our politicians or their co-workers could get away with these statistics. It’s a bloody disgrace.

Thanks for the heads up. I actually received this via e-mail and thought it was cool, that’s all.
