Josh, My Son sent me this.
> Little Melissa comes home from first grade and tells her father that they
> learned about the history of Valentine's Day.
>
> "Since Valentine's Day is for a Catholic saint and we're Jewish," she asks,
> "will God get mad at me for giving someone a valentine?
>
> Melissa's father thinks a bit, then says "No, don't think God would get mad.
> Who do you want to give a valentine to?"
>
> "Osama Bin Laden," she says.
>
> "Why Osama Bin Laden?", her father asks in shock.
>
> "Well," she says, "I thought that if a little American Jewish girl could
> have enough love to give Osama a valentine, he might start to think that
> maybe we're not all bad, and maybe start loving people a little bit. And if
> other kids saw what I did and sent valentines to Osama, he'd love everyone a
> lot. And then he'd start going all over the place to tell everyone how much
> he loved them and how he didn't hate anyone anymore.
>
> Her father's heart swells and he looks at his daughter with newfound pride.
> "Melissa, that's the most wonderful thing I've ever heard."
>
> "I know," Melissa says, "and then once he's out in the open, the Marines
> could blow his ass away!"
