Top Ten Reasons the Hijackers were not Lebanese
The following joke appeared online right after the tragic events of September 11. Faced with the accusation of harbouring terrorists, the people again resorted to laughter to lighten up.

10. 8:45 is too early for most Lebanese to wake up.
09. Lebanese are always late, they would've missed all 4 flights.
08. The attendants on the planes would be a distraction.
07. Once in the air, they would have changed their mind.
06. Free food and drinks on the plane would have displaced their focus.
05. The suspected car found outside of Boston Airport would not be a Ford, but a BMW with chrome wheels.
04. They would never have agreed on whom would fly the plane.
03. Everyone would have wanted to be the boss, which would have started a big fight on the plane.
02. Their mothers would have told them to be home for dinner at 8 pm.
01. Most importantly, months before doing it, they would have already told everyone about it

Typical Syrian
An Australian journalist was stopped at a Syrian Checkpoint on the border of Lebanon. The Syrian soldier said "Get out of the car and open the boot!", to which the Australian replied "I'm sorry, but the handbrake on the car is broken. I can't take my foot off the brake or it'll roll back down the hill". So the Syrian says "Do you take me for a FOOL?!", as he slides into the passenger seat, and stamps his big boot onto the brake pedal.

"Now go and open the BOOT!!"

So the journalist reluctantly complies witht he soldiers request, and goes and opens the boot of the car.

"Now", shouts the Syrian from inside the car, "Is there any contraband in there?"
