Complete the sentence

Dubya today at CIA HQ began a sentence with:

If al Qaeda was structured like corporate America ...

which offers too many possibilities for alternative endings. Let us suggest three:

... then they would have been too busy awarding themselves huge pay raises to ever get around to any actual terrorism

... then they would have used staged power cuts, pension plan collapses, and bogus accounting to undermine the country instead of violent attacks

... then as people who, like me once, have to "make payroll" I'd have looked into their souls and convinced them, suit to suit, to give up.


Reader suggestions welcome, as always.
