Dont know if this has circulated here yet, but I found it funny nonetheless... :) <br /><br /><br />Three guys -- a Canadian farmer, Osama bin Laden, and an American <br />engineer -- are working together one day. They come across a lantern <br />and a Genie pops out of it. "I will give each of you one wish, which <br />is three wishes total," says the Genie.<br /><br />The Canadian says, "I am a farmer, my dad was a farmer, and my son <br />will also farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada." <br />Pooooof! With the blink of the Genie's eye, the land in Canada was <br />forever made fertile for farming.<br /><br />Osama bin Laden was amazed, so he said, "I want a wall around <br />Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran so that no infidels, Jews or Americans can <br />come into our precious state." Pooooof! Again, with the blink of <br />the Genie's eye, there was a huge wall around those countries.<br /><br />The American engineer says, "I am very curious. Please tell me more <br />about this wall." The Genie explains, "Well, it's 5000 feet high, <br />500 feet thick and completely surrounds the countries. Nothing can <br />get in or out -- it's virtually impenetrable."<br /><br />The American engineer says, "Fill it with water."

Re: American engineers....

i know it's a joke and it's a little funny, but it also points to the problem most americans have with our current affairs- osama, afghanistan, iran, iraq, terrorists- all the same in the eyes of too many americans. i have two friends from afghanistan, both with many family members still there. they wouldn't find this joke very funny.
