My 80 plus aunt just e mailed this to me: With the Muslims terrorist befief that all things pork are totally unclean, even to a point of scraping frosting off of cake because it might contain hog lard, why not just threatan to fly over them and spray a fine mist of bacon grease? If they do not surrender that idiot, bomb them with pork rinds, or put a patch of hog hide on airplane seats with pig skin controls cozys. I can just imagine a group of militants with their long beards and turbans running helter sklter after being bombed by bacon bits.

No feedback for a day? This firum must be occupied with the greatest example of "sheeple" on the planet; the only thing that interests you is bull feathers that means nothing, la-la land B.S.? That or your not bright enough to hold a conservation with any meaning, why don't you just shrink back into the woodwork and sniff the raid?

Sheesh, Mitch, you're grouchy! Get some sleep!

*Some* of us actually have off-net lives... we can't get in here to comment every day. Others might be hoping that if they ignore you, you might go away.

Iris, I am afraid too many people do not understand my unique approach to humor.

What?

No answer since 10/30 (EST PM)?

Ah .... the old smear 'em with prok grease trick.

Real story: Worked in the 1800's with the Brit's when they were accused (by the Pakistani Muslim's!) of greasing their pre-packaged musket ball and powder paper with bacon gease. This was in the days of the Imperial British "raj" which ruled all of India.

The Hindi's (also in the local armies that were being issued these musket ball papers) had no problem with pig grease, but could NOT use "cow" grease - since the cow was sacred to J\Hindu religion.

THAT was the source of the first rebellions that grew into the current India freedom regellion(s) and (part of) the split between the Indian and Pakistani countries.

Now, since both have developed nuclear warheads BECAUSE they hate other - and they BOTH have no reservations about using nuclear weapons - is almost certainly going to be the first region to suffer nuclear explosions in war since 1945.

And all (in part) from the regional hatred typical of wrapping warheads in bacon grease.

......

Now, off the record, I am very sure that at some of the bombs dropped on Afghanistan WERE wrapped/greased/rubbed in bacon grease.

Unofficially, of course.
