An Arab abandons a suitcase at a train station shortly after 9/11.
A blond-haired blue-eyed Caucasian man standing close notices this right away. He approaches the bag and sees that the zipper isn’t completely closed, so he peeks inside.
He notices electronic gadgets, what appears to be a timer, and a large quantity of cash. He seizes the suitcase and pursues the Arab to return it.
“Thank you!” the Arab shouts, “you have saved my life, alhamdulillah!” I will never be able to repay you, but I will give you some sound advice: ‘The Arab leans in close and whispers into the white man’s ear, “Whatever you do, do not go to Birmingham, Alabama. No matter what.’
“Why?” asks the white man, “because there will be an attack or something?”
“No,” replies the Arab, “because that place is a f**king shithole.”
