Memo to: Cavemates

From: Osama

Regarding: The Cave

Hi guys. We’ve all been putting in long hours but we’ve really come

together as a group and I love that. Big thanks to Omar for putting

up the poster that says “There is no I in team” as well as the one that

says “Hang In There, Baby.” That cat is hilarious. However, while we

are fighting a jihad, we can’t forget to take care of the cave. And

frankly I have a few concerns.

First of all, while it’s good to be concernedabout cruise missiles,

we should be even more concerned about the scorpions in our cave.

Hey, you don’t want to be stung and neither do I so we need to sweep the cave daily. I’ve posted a sign up sheet near the main cave opening.

Second, it’s not often I make a video address but when I do, I’m trying to scare the most powerful country on earth, okay? That means that while we’re taping, please do not ride your razor scooter in the background. Just while we’re taping. Thanks.

Third point, and this is a touchy one. As you know, by edict, we’re

not supposed to shave our beards. But I need everyone to just think

hygiene, especially after mealtime. We’re all in this together.

Fourth: food. I bought a box of Cheez-Its recently, clearly wrote “Osama” on the front, and put it on the top shelf. Today, my Cheez-Its were gone. Consideration. That’s all I’m saying.

Finally, we’ve heard that there may be American soldiers in disguise

trying to infiltrate our ranks. I want to set up patrols to look for them. First patrol will be Omar, Muhammed, Abdul, Akbar, and Richard.

Love you lots.

Osama
