I woke up this morning with a bad hangover and my bin Laden was missing again. This happens all the time – he’s detachable. ---

Sometimes, when my mom is talking on the cordless phone and making dinner at the same time, she’ll leave the phone in the freezer. Maybe we should look there. ---

Maybe he’s with OJ’s Heisman trophy. You know, the one he claimed he couldn’t find after he was ordered to turn it over with his other assets after losing the civil trial. ---

Okay, I want you to re-trace your steps. Did you have your bin Laden when you went out yesterday to shoot that Afghani woman you caught with a TV set? Did you have it before the big meeting with the 600 clerics? Did you have it when the Pakistanis came over? Dammit, Taliban. I’m tired of you always losing your bin Laden. If you can’t keep track of your bin Laden, I’m going to just have to pin it to your jacket with safety pins, just like we did with your mittens last February. ---

I know where bin ladin might be…He just put on one of those full body coverings that the Taliban make their women wear, and he is just walking around. So now we have to send someone to check that the women are actually women. Any volunteers or women we can practice on? ---
