Humor . . . bin Laden's fate? After getting nailed by a Daisy Cutter, Osama made his way to the Pearly Gates. There, he is greeted by George Washington. "How dare you attack the nation I helped conceive!" yells Mr.Washington, slapping Osama in the face. Patrick Henry comes up from behind. "You wanted to end America's liberty, so they gave you death." Henry punches Osama in the face. James Madison comes up next and says, "This is why we allowed the federal Government to provide for the common defense" and kicks Osama in the groin. Osama is the subject to similar beatings from John Randolph of Roanoke, James Monroe and 67 other people who have the same love for liberty and America. As Osama writhes in pain on the ground, Thomas Jefferson picks him up and hurls him back to the gate to be judged. As Osama awaits his journey to his final very hot destination, he screams "This is not what I was promised!" An angel replies "I told you there would be 72 Virginians waiting for you. What did you think I said?"
