Dear Bin Laden

So lemme get this straight, Mr. Minderbinder. You're stumping for Osama Bin Laden to rule the world for seven years?

Long time since I encountered Mr. Minderbinder, but wasn't there something like chocolate-covered cottonballs--or somefin' like that in the tale?

Curiously coincidental that Mr. Minderbinder ran a warehouse...

Osama how do you get your beard so trim? I tried to grow one back in the 1970s and ended up looking like a geography teacher.

Any thoughts?

Reminds me of the story of the English lady who hired a chauffeur, a man who came very highly recommended as an excellent driver and mechanic.

Several weeks after he was hired, the lady became disenchanted with the chauffeur's grooming habits, particularly his often sporting a three or five day stubble. Thinking to gently induce better habits, she asked him one day as they motored through the countryside, "James. how often would you say it is necessary to shave?"

James glanced in the rearview mirror, pondered the question for several hundred yards, and replied, "Well, ma'am, with a growth like yours I would say once a week would be sufficient."
