Which footy code is it??
My daughter sent me this today
NRL stands for National Rugby League and AFL stands for Australian Football League
Does the following apply to the
NRL OR 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 organization this is? AFL? NRL?
Give up yet? . . .
Scroll down
Neither, it's the 535 members of
the AUSTRALIAN PARLIAMENT IN
The same group of Idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year, designed to keep the rest of us in line.regards

Not sure that there are 535 Senators and members of the House of Reps.
There are 150 MHRs (http://www.aph.gov.au/house/index.htm) and 76 senators (http://www.aph.gov.au/Senate/pubs/briefs/brief01.htm)
Total = 226
Looks to me like a dinkumisation of something originally composed about the US Congress (which has many more congressmen and fewer senators per State)Cheers

Calm, that one has been doing the Internet rounds
for a while.
I suspect it is an adaptation from one originating from
another English speaking country in the northern
hemisphere.
If true, it is scary, where ever it comes from.
