Why Women Should Not Be In Charge of the Remote

No one recorded Sajida saying this:

We've been living out of a suitcase here in Amman for the last 3 years, and now Ali, Mr Bigshot Al-Qaeda Secret Terrorist, decides it's time for us to become suicide bombers. So Mr Knowitall makes us explosive belts and shows me how to use one--like I'm too stupid to know how to push a button--me, who's been working everything from the microwave to the laundromat every since we got married. Then we get all dressed up and go to this nice hotel where people are giving a wedding party--did I tell you this was the first time Mr Big Spender has taken me out to a party in fifteen years? We get there, and sneak into the ballroom by the side door--not the front door, because Mr I've-Got-A-Secret doesn't know any NICE people who might send us an invitation--no, only bums and shitheels like my no account brother. I haven't had any punch, no little hors d'oeuvres, or even hugged the young bride, and Mr I-Want-To-Get-Jiggy-With-72-Virgins says "Push the button! Push the button!" So I fiddle with my detonator and say "Oops! Poor little stupid me, I can't get it to work. Maybe you should just go ahead and explode without me." And Mr Bigshot International Terrorist Mastermind does exactly that. Do you think I could get a spot on Oprah after being on Jordanian TV?

Who wants to bet this little husband removal scheme isn't picked up by other Arab females tired of that worthless jihadist that keeps hanging around the house demanding to be treated like a hero and refusing to take out the garbage?

As for me...it's going to be "yes dear"...for the whole of next week.

And they say the Islam denigrates and subjugates its women--who knew? Gloria Steinam would be proud of the ol' gal--veritable Rosa Parks, don't ya think?

Sounds like the Islamic feminists need a bit more practice, though--or maybe it's their first glass ceiling. Problem is, the training sessions are killer...

And do the ladies get 72 studs when they push the button? Enquiring minds want to know...

Great having you back posting, Gerard.
