Got a nigga depressed while he's awaiting trial

Over the weekend, a bunch of Boyfriend's family and I sat outside enjoying life- drinking, joshing around, having fun, when his aunt stepped in to correct us.

She cleared her throat. "Bullying is a terrible thing to do. Just think of the pain it causes in others. Why do you think we have things like Al Qaeda? Don't you think those people have been bullied in their lives?"

There was an awful, uncomfortable silence, and we all sat there chewing our food.

Finally Uncle Steve said, "By Jove, you've figured it out! The roots of Al Qaeda." And then we all laughed and resumed our libation.

I love irony.
