~Osama Dies~ Plus Word for the Day and 6 Differences

When Osama bin Laden died, he was met at the Pearly Gates by George Washington, who slapped him across the face and yelled, "How dare you try to destroy the nation I helped conceive!" 

Patrick Henry approached, punched him in the nose and shouted, "You wanted to end our liberties but you failed." James Madison followed, kicked him in the groin and said, "This is why I allowed our government to provide for the common defense!" 

Thomas Jefferson was next, beat Osama with a long cane and snarled, "It was evil men like you who inspired me to write the Declaration of Independence." 

The beatings and thrashings continued as George Mason, James Monroe and  66 other early Americans unleashed their anger on the terrorist leader. 

As Osama lay bleeding and in pain, an Angel appeared. 

Bin Laden wept and said, "This is not what you promised me." 

The Angel replied, "I told you there would be 72 Virginians waiting for you in Heaven. 

What did you think I said?"  ***
