Joke Of The Day: Remember 9-11
I was sitting at a long stoplight yesterday, minding my own business, patiently waiting for it to turn green even though there was no on-coming traffic. A carload of bearded, young, loud Muslims, shouting anti-American slogans, with a half-burned American Flag duct taped on the trunk of their car and a “Remember 9-11” slogan spray painted on the side, was stopped next to me. Suddenly they yelled, “praise Allah” and took off before the light changed.
Out of nowhere an 18-wheeler came speeding through the intersection and ran directly over their car, crushing it completely and killing everyone in it.
For several minutes I sat in my car thinking to myself, ” Man… that could have been me!” So today, bright and early, I went out and got a job as a truck driver
