This stuff is getting SCARY!


This morning, from a cave somewhere in Pakistan, Taliban Minister of Migration, Mohammed Omar, warned the United States that if military action against Iraq continues, Taliban authorities will cut off America's supply of convenience store managers.

And if this action does not yield sufficient results, cab drivers will be next, followed by Dell and AOL customer service reps., and then Motel 6 managers.

It's getting ugly

Think that one needs a tongue firmly in cheek handieman. Kind of up there with Borat. Check out this link-- http://www.adc.org/index.php?id=203

This is from that link--

"Arab Americans, Muslims, and South Asians were among the secondary victims of the attacks on September 11th. Hate crimes, discrimination, and public hostility were commonplace in the following weeks. As a result this allowed us the unique opportunity to educate people about Arabs and Arab Americans."

Handi, you are a true nut job! Yes, America On Line (AOL) should be called Pakistan On Line - POL! They should be ashamed of themselves. When they started outsourcing is when I cancelled with them. And I just switched from Microsoft to a Mac because Apple uses only tech people in America. Let's bring back the jobs people! But all the convenience stores???? Where, oh where will I get my slurpy's?

Chel?? Did i hear you moaning about tech support from Manila last night??

Also Tal, your absolutely right, after 9/11, we had a great opportunity to learn about our Arab "friends". Who was it that just told me the greatest offensive weapon is to know your enemy???

Take it to the bank, the middle east is loving watching us die a slow economic death. Tell me I'm wrong when gasoline costs $10.00 per gallon. Till that time we have a cancer growing in this country called complacency or apathy and unless we wake up it will kill us.

Handie :joke:

I don't know Handi. Did you hear me moaning last night? Or was that in your dreams? ;D
