Poll #37 Now that Usama Bin Laden has received justice at the business end of a SEAL’s weapon, how do you envision he “left the building?”

     HARRUMPH scientists have been busy searching for the discarded carcass of the most wanted man on Earth since it was revealed that he was dumped off of the U.S.S. Carl Vinson’s deck last Sunday.  As part of that search we have been pinging away with sonars in the wake of the great ship.  Sadly, we have yet to locate his exact position.  However, our “passive” listening devices did record some unusual activity in the South Pacific and it is now presented for your perusal.

     “…yes, and so I was really surprised when they came in… No, I had heard the helicopters only at the last minute and then Boom! Bang! Pop!  Abdul runs in and says ‘It’s the Americans!’ Another loud “bang!” and his head just kind of came apart… I tell you, I was so scared that I made a poopie in my dishdasha.  And that was one of my good ones too.  You know, a nice white one I got for Ramadan from “Dishdasha Wearhouse.”

     “I don’t know.  Then I started waddling down the hall, trying to get away and all of a sudden this rough-looking man, all dressed in black, comes out of nowhere and all I see is this gigantic muzzle of a rifle in my face!  Well, Abdul’s AK was laying on the ground and, you know, he sure didn’t need it any longer so I went for it and this guy with the rifle says, in perfect halakese, “Bad move, buddy” and bam!  All I see is a white flash and the bullet hit my head so hard that it even knocked my raggedy hat off!”

     “I think the worst part about it… even more than the waiting…  You know, I knew that some day they would find me.  Ten years… those damn Americans never give up.  Anyway, the worst part about it is that they ransacked the compound after they killed me!  I mean, yeah take the computers and files and stuff, but did they really have to rummage through all my records?  Do you know that they broke a bunch of my Barry Manilow albums?  And you just can’t get vinyl anywhere nowadays too!”

            HARRUMPH has not confirmed just who it is that was recorded, or to whom he was talking to but there are several more hours of recordings to catalog and as we go through them we will bring them to you.
