Cap'n Hook offered pork chops | ||
2004-08-19 | ||
A JAIL boss apologised to fanatic Abu Hamza and other Muslim terror suspects when they were offered pork for dinner. They were furious when "spicy pork chops" was listed on the prison menu. Despite a Muslim ban on eating pigs they were told the meal was "suitable for Halal diets". Hook-handed cleric Hamza is in Belmarsh jail, South East London, fighting extradition to the US on a terror rap. Governor Geoff Hughes sent a letter of apology to all inmates. He wrote: "The mistake should never have happened. Spicy pork chops were described as suitable for Halal diets. Clearly that is nonsense." He ordered pork to be removed from the menus of all prisoners, including non-Muslims.

#14 Homer Simpson: Are you saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon? Lisa: No. Homer Simpson: Ham? Lisa: No! Homer Simpson: Pork chops? Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal! Homer Simpson: Heh heh heh ... ooh ... yeah ... right, Lisa. A wonderful ... magical animal. |

#11 He doesn't like spicey pork chops? Fine, feed him calimari three times a day. Undercooked calimari. In fact, RAW calimari. Hell, just catch it and throw it at him... Maybe he'll get the hint... On second thought, probably not - not enough synapses firing sequentially. |

#10 I'd sue for discrimination. I like pork roast and dumplings and pork tenderloin. Why should I suffer? |

#9 Since the Brits made the mistake of using Cow grease (unholy to Hindus) and pig grease (unholy to Muslims) in the cartridges they sent the Sepoys (composed of Hindus and Muslims) and got all of India up in arms against them I would think they'd be a bit more careful these days. Anyway, if you can't do the time, don't do the crime hookman. |

#7 "Governor Geoff Hughes ... ordered pork to be removed from the menus of all prisoners, including non-Muslims." I hope this starts a riot. Why the fuck should other inmates' food options be determined by the presence of Muslims? What is going on in that idiot governor's head?! |

#6 I agree: All land meat "tastes like chicken", except Beef, Lamb, Venison, And Bison. He'd never know the difference |

#5 Maybe they could remove the chicken item and the pork item, and offer "Spicy White Meat". |

#4 The head dhimmi offers his abject apologies and volunteers to go much further than is necessary in order to get back in the muslims good graces. Mission accomplished. |

#2 Cap'n Hook offered pork chops Wrapped in bacon, I hope. At the end of his Ramadan fast, preferrably. |

#1 They should label it "another chicken meat" on the menu. Let it digest and then reveal the origin, pointing out that no 72 raisins would be fortcoming in the afterlife. Would I be that nasty? Lemme think... ABSO-effing-LUTELY! |
