In the latter half of 2002 a wounded Bin Laden, two of his relatives, and two other faithful henchmen were slowly making their way through the mountains of Afghanastan. Hampered by the almost continuous U.S. bombing, it took them three weeks before they finally found a cave safe enough to rest in. With very little food and water they stayed in the cave for another nine days. One of Bin Laden's closest friends died there. Eventually they made their way across the border into Northern Pakastan where they found a reasonably safe place to recover. Bin Laden's height posed a serious problem. There are not many 6 foot 6 inch men wandering around. Add a four inch turbin and he starts to resemble the Statue Of Liberty. It was Bin Laden's brother-in-law who came up with the idea! Does anybody remember the old movie from the 50's, Moulin Rouge? Jose Ferrer, who is nearly six feet, played the part of the midget. (Okay,okay. . . Little Person) To do that they made a set of little legs with feet, and he would bend his legs and put both knees into these little fake half legs and walk around looking like he was about 5 feet tall. Bin Laden's brother-in-law knew just the "smithy" to do the job. Eventually the blacksmith and Bin Laden spent five weeks together in a secret location making, testing and perfecting the little legs. Mr. Ferrer could only spend 15 minutes at a time in his legs but Bin Laden, because of the robes he wears, didn't have to bend his legs nearly as much and could spend hours walking around as a 5 foot 8 inch person. Shave the beard, add a pair of feminine spectacles, a silk turban and the proper robe and Bin Laden becomes a very attractive lady. That is how Bin Laden managed to avoid capture all these years in spite of the enormous bounty on his head. The brother-in-law paid off the smithy. . . He's burried in Northern Pakastan.
So, gentle reader, I have one last comment to make about this. . . Whether you are in Ottawa, Vancouver or Pakastan and feeling a bit lonely. . . that cute chick you pick up may have more between the legs (Be they real or stumpy) than you care to investigate!
