1. Look, Ayman Al-Zawahari may be a douchebag extremist...

...but he's hardly Spinal Tap drummer material.

2. Can't discuss, laughing too hard

*sides ache*

[Quantess]

3. Al Qaeda is coming out with a comedy spoof film?

Wow, that will be a load of laughs.

10. Threre seems to be a never ending supply of these guys.

Who would want the job anymore.

What about number 3, 4, 5, etc.

Somebody has to be ready to take over for number 2.

11. I'm Getting to old, I had to Google "Spinal Tap", should watch TV once in a while

I am sorry, rock groups were NEVER high on my agenda so I had to google, but I knew enough to get a good laugh by just assuming the drummer was always being replaced (As happens on many bands). After I google the term, I found out what the joke was:

12. Every number 2 man in Al Queda has the same resume:

1) Starred in 'Star Trek: The Original Series': Character portrayed: Security officer in Red Shirt during opening sequence.

2) Starred in 'Spinal Tap': Character portrayed: Drummer.

13. Great analogy

LOL

14. Guess that means

battling Al Qeada will be a never ending battle...what?

[WeDidIt]

15. There was only one number 2 of the Taliban captured

That happened under Obama's watch.

Obama has caught more Taliban leaders in the past month than the Bush/Cheney administration did in six years.

16. Maybe, but Repukes don't know who Spinal Tap even is

You have to possess a sense of humor to know. ;)

17. Did he choke on vomit?

It wasn't his own vomit. They're not quite sure whose it was. Scotland Yard doesn't have the factilites to dust for vomit...

[JoeyT]

18. So that's how they caught that guy.

His tin foil wrapped cucumber aroused suspicion.

21. Those new scanners leave little to the imagination
