Need a good laugh?

During the National Spelling Bee recently in the nation's capital,
Islamic spectators became outraged upon discovering that the USA was
embedded in the middle of Jerusalem, Israel's holiest city. The
revelation was made by Douglas Levin, an eighth grader at the Joseph
Lieberman Day School in Rockville Center, MD. When young Levin was
asked
to spell the word Jerusalem, he replied, "J E R- USA - L E M."
An audible gasp sounded from Muslim onlookers, who realized, for the
first time, a USA presence in the holy city. Muslim parents
immediately
protested the spelling contest, citing American bias toward Israel.
"It's a clear violation of church and state," said Mohammed Ahlee,
lobbyist for the Arab group Holy Shiite.
Bee officials quickly denied any wrongdoing, asserting that
the Muslims were merely disgruntled because Rajeed Raheed,
a seventh grader from Al Kaydah Junior High, had been eliminated
earlier
for misspelling Afghanistan as Afghanustan.
"There is no 'A-N-U-S' in the middle of Afghanistan," said one bee
official, "unless you believe bin Laden is still hiding there."
I am not even sure if this is fact or fiction, but it is funny.
