#1 Holy moly, I used to eat at the La Shish restaurants back in Detroit. Really good middle eastern chow. If this guy's found guilty string his ass up & close down his chain.

#2 I used to enjoy eating at a little deli near my office 'til I took a closer look at the cover of their takeout menu. It is cream colored, with a stylized drawing of the Capitol dome in brown, under a green star and a green crescent moon.

I can't help but wonder if the owner's zakat is going to Hezbollah or Hamas...and no, I don't eat there any more.

#3 gotta reallllllly watch the spelling there.

LaShish -> Hashish.

heh.

"Shish" brings to mind an old Johnny Carson bit - Carnak the magnificient comes to mind - he'd "read" and answer magically to an envelope he was holding, then open the envelope and read the question. Funny stuff.

(Carnac holds the sealed envelope up to his turban)
CARNAC: Shish boom bah.
ED McMAHON: Shish boom bah?
(Carnac rips the envelope open and removes the card)
CARNAC (reading): Describe the sound made when a sheep explodes.

#4 Strip the convicted pair of all their assets, then after they've served their sentences, ship them to Lebanon with the clothes on their backs. Lebanon isn't much fun when you are penniless, a burden on unwilling cousins, and the wife is seriously displeased about the situation.
