Possibly a Spitter

Apparently there's a link between violent extremism and sexual inadequacy.

Does masturbation lead to suicide bombing? One would think not. There is no more direct link to suicide bombing than there is to blindness or schizophrenia. But there may be a connection between sexual inadequacy or frustration and the pull towards violent extremism.

Which may explain this:

Sheik Muhsen Al-’Awaji: Before Islam, the Arabs fought for 40 years to defend the honor of a female camel. This was in the Busous War. A female camel was humiliated, and a 40-year war ensued to defend its honor. So what about the honor of the Prophet?

Interviewer: Are you proud of this?!

I hope it was an especially pretty camel. You know, with the sorta face that launched a thousand ships....

....of the desert?

That's so lame even for you, Aidan. Good thing I like lame "punchlines".

Anyway, I like the "decomposing head" analogy that weirdo used. I'm going to modify it so I can fit it into daily office chatter.
