Just working up the ladder, tu. Guess we've cleared the #3 step, and are now working on #2. Since #1 is a fiction of the Arab imagination, getting all the #2s would do wonders for the health and well-being of Mosul.

#6 Lloyds of London refuses to write policies for any AQ no 2's - actuaries have deemed them an extremely poor risk.

#8 One almost feels sorry for the poor men. No sooner do they get the keys to the executive washroom and the corner office then they are killed -- no chance to even unlock the door and wash their hands first, let alone get trained to do the job properly. Besides, all the ambitious jihadis have taken themselves off to Pakistan, from whence they can throw themselves against Coalition guns.

Cupcakes!! Querent, I've been dying for cupcakes. The trailing daughters no longer celebrate birthdays at school. :-(

#9 "no chance to even unlock the door and wash their hands first"

They skip that part anyway, tw.

Near as I can tell, they don't wash anything.
