Great freeper minds think alike.

Last year on Memorial Day, friends who had bought a new home which is one home away from the wilderness invited us over a Labor Day cookout.

The area is infested with Yellowjackets, flies and other flying pests. Her husband bought an industrial strength bug zapper. Everytime a winged critter flew into it, the bug got zapped with a noise heard across their back yard.

I was grinning with each zap. Finally our hostess a recovering peacenik, who was a Brit before becoming a citizen here, asked why I was grinning.

So I told her about my friend who said to think about al Qaeda thug getting killed in Iraq everytime I heard a bug zapper go off.

She didn't speak to me for the rest of the day.

Then, there were the bombing attacks on London.

We were invited to another cookout on Labor Day at their house. This time everytime their bug zapper snapped and popped, she would smille and say, "Another al Qaeda killer just got zapped!"
