A sign at a business establishment in Philadelphia, PA:

"WE WOULD RATHER DO BUSINESS WITH 1000 AL QAEDA
TERRORISTS THAN WITH A SINGLE AMERICAN"

This sign was prominently displayed in the window of
  a business in Philadelphia. You are probably outraged
at the thought
of such an inflammatory statement. One would think that
anti-hate
groups from all  across the country would be marching
on this
  business... And that the National Guard might have to
be called to keep
the angry crowds back. But, perhaps in these stressful
times one might be
tempted to let the proprietors simply make their
statement . .

We are a society who holds Freedom of Speech as
perhaps our greatest liberty
. . . And after all, it is just a sign. You may ask
what kind of business
would dare post such a sign?




Answer:
A Funeral Home
(Who said morticians had no sense of humor?)
