72 VIRGINS AND A NEW BACKPACK!!!!

While driving and listening to late night AM radio, I happened upon a show featuring an author discussing the likelihood of terrorists setting off suitcase nukes in 10 U.S. cities, in the near future. As is often the case, I found my mind wandering and wondering how many virgins that would entitle the murderers to. If they run out of virgins, what does Allah do? Just create more or maybe post something in the personals on craigslist(http://orlando.craigslist.org/)? I mean, there are probably a lot of U.S. churches that would be hard pressed to come up with ....and wouldn't this be considered child abuse...and what do the 72 virgins get out of this...But I digress. Now, just after this uplifting radio discussion and my totally linear thought pattern, I pulled my next delivery ticket. Ironically, it featured the name Habib Aziz imprinted on it. I found the apartment, in spite of the fact that the light over the door was burned out. I knocked on the door and after a beat, it slowly opened to reveal a totally darkened room, devoid of any furniture, pictures or personal belongings. The young man that opened the door, appeared to be in his mid-twenties, dark and Middle Eastern. As I handed him his cheese pizza(I had checked the pie first to make sure that I wasn't accidentally delivering yet another pizza with pepperoni, extra sausage or ham, to a Moslem or Vegan), he handed me the exact change and never made eye contact or said a word. As he shut the door, I could see that he was wearing what appeared to be a "camo" style military shirt and on the name tag was neatly printed "Osama".
