I notice an increasing number of news photos showing demonstrators in the Middle East brandishing realistic-looking mock rockets and mock explosives.
You know, personally I probably wouldn’t do that.
Considering the advanced state of satellite observation these days, I think I’d tend to leave my mock explosives indoors, in the recreation room.
“Hey, Earl! Lookit what I made in my workshop! Don’t these mock rockets look totally REAL? They’d fool anyone! Here’s one for you. Let’s head for that demo!”
“Gee thanks, Lonnie, but see, I’m already carryin’ a grande frappuccino and a jelly doughnut, so can you carry my mock rocket for me? In fact, why don’t you hurry on ahead with that mock stuff, and I’ll catch up.
“Got your GPS with you? Run like the wind, Lonnie!”

Hahaha, nice one Bob. Very evil, by the looks of it.
- Posted by PaddoAs regards that bottom picture, I have to say that you know someone’s a close friend when they’re willing to stand that close to you and your ‘fake’ suicide bomb.
- Posted by BandageI’m not accustomed to seeing my name in the headline about terrorism. This is now twice in a month.
