AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a humorous and satirical narrative where Osama Bin Laden encounters prominent figures from American history at the pearly gates. Each historical figure, including George Washington, Patrick Henry, and Thomas Jefferson, confronts Bin Laden with aggression, reflecting their disdain for his actions and ideology. The punchline reveals a twist on the concept of the "72 virgins" promised in certain interpretations of Islamic belief, with St. Peter clarifying that Bin Laden's fate involves facing 72 Virginians instead. This comedic take echoes a joke by Robin Williams made shortly after 9/11, highlighting the blend of humor and critique regarding Bin Laden's legacy and the cultural context of his actions.

So when he got to the pearly gates, the first person to meet him was George Washington. "I'm known as the father of the country you hated", he said. And then beat the crap out of him. Then Patrick Henry came up and said, "I chose liberty, all you offered was death". And he bludgeoned him about the head and shoulders. Then it was James Madison.

Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well.
