******GREAT BALLS OF FIRE******

2. Oh, they di'nt!
I'm still wondering how many others were on planes that day but chickened out at the last minute because the prospect of barbecued balls was not an attractive one.

5. The Guy Sure Had A Pair...
As in past tense. Supposedly he showed no signs of pain after he lit the thing...all I know is from what I heard I was cringing and crossing my legs. In the spirit of the holiday season his Chestnuts were truly roasting on an open fire...

Now does this mean all men will have to have their balls checked by the TSA? :scared:

14. It seems he was sedated which would also explain why according to a
UK bomb expert that the device failed. It didn't explode as it should have because the bomber was to out of it to prepare the explosive properly.

17. I wonder if this stunt doubled as a jab at his family?
He rejected his family--perhaps this was a way of not only attacking the "great satan" United States, but also destroying any chance of passing on the family tree.
