The only reason I am sending this out is because in my spam folder two days ago I did receive an e-mail that said Osama Bin Laden Hung!!! And I deleted it as I do not open any of my spam unless I know for certain who it's from. anyhow I received this from a friend of mine last night so thought to pass it on...

John: "I don't know."

Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
