Seventy-Two

So Osama Bin Laden dies and goes to meet his maker. Allah greets him at the gates and motions him inside. George Washington walks up from his right and slaps him across the face. From his left comes Thomas Jefferson, who cuffs him roundly. James Madison spits on him, James Monroe punches him, John Tyler curses him, Woodrow Wilson shoves him, Zach Taylor hurls him to the ground. Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson pick him up and throw him against a solid gold wall.

As Patrick Henry and John Pershing step towards him rubbing their fists, Osama cries "Allah! What's going on here?? Who are all these guys? And where are my seventy-two virgins?"

Allah looks exasperated, and replies slowly, "I said Virginians, Osama, seventy-two Virginians."
