Terrorists ride camels, right? richard: Yeah, sure, I remember when all camels were grounded on 9/12. Can I see this email? eric: Sure, here's a print out. richard: This is from your Sent Items folder Eric. It's the threat you sent Bruce Perens last year. eric: Bruce is a muslim terrorist? I'll get him whilst he's praying then.
