The Blame Game

I just waited twenty minutes in the barber shop only to be told I couldn't get a haircut because I am a military contractor and not military personnel.


Why can't contractors get their hair cut?
Because there are too many on base currently.

Why are there too many contractors on base?
Because they are doing construction.

Why are they doing construction?
Because the two bases in New Orleans are merging.

Why are they merging?
Because of the Base Realignment and Closure process.

Why is this necessary?
Because the US wants its bases to be more efficient.

Why do they need to be more efficient?
Because European "allies" have placed too much of a burden on the American military.

Why have they strained the American military?
Because they didn't get on board with Gulf War II so the US has to do the job alone.

Why is the US fighting Gulf War II alone?
Because terrorism needs to be stopped.

Why does terrorism need to be stopped?
Because its harmful for children and other living things.


As we can see, it all boils down to either the Europeans or bin Laden. Take your pick.

In the immortal words of Alan Garner, the barber wouldn't cut my hair because we live in a time "after 9/11 when everyone got so sensitive".

Thanks a lot, bin Laden.
