Little Sheet Heads

Towel Heads

Recently I received a warning about the use of this politically incorrect term, so please note, we all need to be more sensitive in our choice of words.

I have been informed the Islamic terrorists, who hate our guts and want to kill us, do not like to be called “Towel Heads”, since the item they wear on their heads is not actually a towel, but in fact, a small folded sheet.

Therefore, from this point forward, please refer to them as “Little Sheet Heads.” Thank you for your support and compliance on this delicate matter.

    I forgot to forward you this bulletin, sorry I’m so lax about those people! They’d also rather not be called “terrorists”. They prefer the term “freedom fighters”.

    bahahahaha! That makes me think of the movie Team America when one of the characters was disguised as a middle eastern man - they actually wrapped a towel around his head!

    Yeah ok, I laughed … but remember not all “towel heads” are terrorists and there’s no need to offend them.

    As a child, my mother made me fold sheets, and included in those sheets were my baby brother’s washed diapers, which were really just little sheets, so how about “diaper heads”?

    Yes, that has a catchy feel… diaper heads.

    Not all towel head camel fu**ing sand suckers are terrorists, true, but they are all evil heathons that will not go to heaven with 72 virgins but will go to hell and hopefully get raped by 72 demons. “America! Fuck Yeah!” Though many of you may not like America for whatever reason it still stands that we are more powerful, richer, and just all around better than any other collective country. U.S.A! U.S.A!

    Not to get on a rant and act like the typical American stereotype but when you have most of the rest of the world continually bad mouthing your country and culture sometimes it bugs you. All the time America send aid to virtually anyone that needs any form of help. Money, shelters, anything to help another country we do. Billions upon billions of dollars every year to help others that spit in our faces. Are you cold, hungry, in need of medical care? Here, let us help you. As a result we are continually bashed and attacked in many different ways. There are no “perfect countries” but there are those of us who try to do good. Ahhh fugit. Rock-N-Roll.
