Somebody thinks they’re funny
So yesterday my mom calls me up and asks, “What did you order from al-[insert generic Islamic organization name]?”
I replied, “Hi mom, it’s nice to talk to you, too. What are you talking about?”
And her: “You just had a package delivered from al-[insert generic Islamic organization name]. It’s pretty big. What is it?”
Me: “I don’t know mom, it got sent to your house? For me? From al-[insert generic Islamic organization name]? Don’t open it!” (I’ve made a few too many Mohammad jokes to take opening packages from Muslims lightly.)
Her: “I wasn’t going to open it… I was just wondering what it is.”
Me: “I’m not saying you’re snooping, I’m just saying… well, is it ticking or anything?”
Turns out, it was just a Qur’an. I say just as if the Qur’an isn’t dangerous. Probably more dangerous than a bomb, now that I think about it, but nevertheless I’m glad isn’t wasn’t a bomb (Praise Allah!). Anyway, now I have a Qur’an. And I need to figure out who sent it to me. I have a couple of guesses…
Hrm - I can think of at least one “person of interest.”
Will stay tuned to find out who did this to you!
I think I know who sent it to you.
haha
this is funny — and totally my style.
sadly, it wasn’t me.
Ok Pete, so who was it?
the fact that it came to your parents’ house should have been an indication that it wasn’t me.
Gosh, Richard - the fact that it was sent to his parents’ house was one of the reasons I thought it was you. So very clever.
