Fwd: from November 2001

As I was cleaning out all of my e-mails today, I came across a folder where I have put joke forwards that I have received from years past.  I have had my personal e-mail address since the day I graduated from college.  That was 14 years ago.  So, I have accumulated some funny forwards. 

It is interesting to note that I don't seem to get as many these days...maybe forwarding jokes is a thing of the past.  Mom...please don't read that as I would like more forwards, because I don't.  K?

Anyway, I read this one about Osama bin Laden.  So, this is my attempt to stay current.  I know this might not be funny to others, but it makes me giggle.  I love the kitty poster imagery...gets me every time.

Hi guys. We've all been putting in long hours but we've really come

together as a group and I love that. Big thanks to Omar for putting up

the poster that says "There is no I in team" as well as the one that says

"Hang In There, Baby." That cat is hilarious. However, while we are fighting

a jihad, we can't forget to take care of the cave. And frankly I have a

few concerns.

First of all, while it's good to be concerned about cruise missiles, we

should be even more concerned about the scorpions in our cave. Hey, you

don't want to be stung and neither do I, so we need to sweep the cave

daily. I've posted a sign-up sheet near the main cave opening.

Second, it's not often I make a video address but when I do, I'm trying

to scare the most powerful country on earth, okay? That means that while

we're taping, please do not ride your razor scooter in the background.

Just while we're taping. Thanks.

Third point, and this is a touchy one. As you know, by edict, we're not

supposed to shave our beards. But I need everyone to just think hygiene,

especially after mealtime. We're all in this together.

Fourth: food. I bought a box of Cheez-Its recently, clearly wrote

"Osama" on the front, and put it on the top shelf. Today, my Cheez-Its were

gone. Consideration. That's all I'm saying.

Finally, we've heard that there may be American soldiers in disguise

trying to infiltrate our ranks. I want to set up patrols to look for them.

First patrol will be Omar, Muhammed, Abdul, Akbar, and the new guy

Richard.

Love you lots.

Osama
