    Osama bin Laden and George bush one day go to the beach for a fun and happy playful day in the sun. George held Osama tight to his chest and they spun around in glee. Suddenly Osama kicked some thing in the sand. When the kicked up mist fell, revealed was a lamp. Osama picked it up while George rubbed it. A great and powerful genie appeared and said that because their were two of them the usual three wishes was defaulted to 1 for each of them. suddenly Osama began to shake. His mind control serum had faded. Georges secret service agents who were watch intently with binoculars saw this and ran to intervene. They jumped for Osama, but Osama had muttered in his Arabic language his wish. He had wished for all the Arabic people to be in their home countries with an air-tight impenetrable boundary surrounding the entire middle east and Arabic nations. {POOF} Osama was gone and the secret service guys that lunged for him all face planted in the sand. George was infuriated but instead of rambling off some awful wish like "world peace" or "equality", he thought hard about his wish. Suddenly some thing was coming to him. However it had been a while of pondering. He forgot what Osama's wish was. So he asked the genie about what he could remember about Osama's wish. "so all the Arabic people are in their own counties?" the reply was yes so he asked another. "And they have an impenetrable air-tight boundary around them?!" Again the reply was a cool yes. George began to think again, and finally his deep thought paid off with just a few short words: "Fill it with water!"

      Might I suggest some line breaks. That's a large chunk of text, was hard on the eyes. -edit- Aside from the suggestion I liked the joke. I upvoted you :)

      If it moves, compile it

        That lacks any credibility, Bush would never be that smart.

            A capital letter or two in the right place might help things along too.

                  A moderately good joke which you get my 5 for. However, don't get over excited: I'm pretty sure that the down votes will come pouring in. :-)

                      Btw what has happened with the last Johnny joke you posted? Yesterday it was 3.8, my five vote barely brought it to 4.0, but today it’s “5.00/5 (17 votes)” . I’m not complaining since I like the joke, but how this may happens?

                          I have no idea. I did email CP that no up-votes were showing on my rep history so I guess something was wrong with the voting. Been going on for a few days. It shows down-votes and original posts, but no up-votes. Interesting to see if it has been fixed.

                              Bush was to dumb to come up with that wish.

                                I am guessing that Iran is included in this group of Arabic countries as it is in the Middle East? The only thing is... Iran is not an Arabic country...
