I received this in an email. I didn't write it, but would like to have said I did. Enjoy!

***To ensure we Americans never offend anyone; particularly fanatics intent on killing us; airport screeners are *not* allowed to
profile ANYONE. They *will* however, continue to perform random searches of 80-year-old
women, little kids, airline pilots with proper
identification, Secret Service agents who are members of the President's security detail, and 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips.

Let's pause a moment and take the following
test...

3. In 1983, the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by:
(a) A pizza delivery boy;

(c) Geraldo Rivera making up for a slow news day;
or

6. In 1998, the U.S. embassies in Kenya and
Tanzania a were bombed by:

(a) Mr. Rogers;

Bill's women problems;
