these darn action figures

[Wayne Johnson]

Why would we have to use artificial flavors?.  Jeez, are there NO standards
left anywhere, anymore.

Lets stay pure and organic and "natural".

Quality counts.

If you're looking for new product ideas involving Osama you might consider
coming out with Osama's Pretzels - pretzels have been in the news lately.
They could be made in several different flavors - very plain, cordite
flavor, anthrax flavor and maybe even jet fuel flavor (of course you would
have to use artificial flavors).  I think they could be a big hit with the
kids, particularly around Halloween.  Maybe you could get the NYC fire dept.
to endorse them as being fire-proof or something.
