Indeed guys, one cannot help but laugh angrily to avoid crying one's lungs 
out at the absurd cheekiness of what's going on. It is a cardinal principle 
of the pedagogy of resistance that the oppressed shall employ any and all of 
the weapons available to them, including laughter and other "weapons of the 
weak" to fight against their oppressors. So let our laughter loudly ring and 
reverberate against the glassy underbelly of the distant skies and rumble 
back to earth and hit the wicked right under the belt. And the devil take 
those who feel offended! Glad you enjoyed the piece. More to follow, Insha 
Allah.
