Daddy's Little Girl

Little Melissa comes home from first grade and tells her father  that they
learned about the history of Valentine's Day. "Since  Valentine's Day is for a Christian saint and we're Jewish," she asks,  "will God get mad at me for giving someone a valentine? 

Melissa's father thinks a bit, then says "No, I don't think God  would get mad. Who do you want to give a valentine to?" 

"Osama Bin Laden," she says 

"Why Osama Bin Laden," her father asks in shock.

"Well," she says, "I thought that if a little American Jewish girl could have enough love to give Osama a valentine, he might start to  think that maybe we're not all bad, and maybe start loving people a  little bit.  And if other kids saw what I did and sent valentines to Osama,  he'd love everyone a lot. And then he'd start going all over the place  to tell everyone how much he loved them and how he didn't hate anyone  anymore." 

Her father's heart swells and he looks at his daughter with  newfound pride. 
"Melissa, that's the most wonderful thing I've ever heard." 

"I know," Melissa says, "and once that gets him out in the open,  the Marines could blow the shit out of him."
