Should have given little johnny walker over to these guys. There is some talk about the Brits not handing Osama over to the Americans if he is captured by them.

Well, after this press release I really dont think theres cause for concern. If the SAS get him I wouldnt consider he would last long in their 'care' anyway.

He ended the story with a great Norm deadpan, "which brings up an interesting point...just how do you tell when a British person is gay?"

Ha ha ha, he ought to say that down at a football match. The pieces that would remain of him would unrecognisable to his closest friends.
