JFK Airport - New York - NY - Immigration officials today confirmed that a dark skinned man with a big bushy beard had entered the USA today. An official at JFK International Airport confirmed that the man had luggage with him, and that he had a big beard and dark skin, but stressed that there was no cause for US citizens to panic.
"It wasn't Bin Laden, or anybody like that, just some guy over here on a business trip," an immigration official stated. "His papers were in order and he wasn't threatening to blow up, or piss on Christian churches or anything like that. So we just let him get on his way. I know some people in the immigration lobby weren't happy about it, but where do you draw the line? If it was the Irish, I'd understand it a little better. Those people are just unruly, but hey, I was just doing my job."
Unable to trace the dark skinned man with the beard and the luggage, our ace NYC reporter Tolliver Cocklepot did manage to trace a different guy with dark skin and a big bushy beard. Who was staying in a midtown hotel, supposedly attending a sandwich making symposium.
The man with the big bushy beard said that he too was purely visiting the United States for business purposes, adding that he couldn't understand why certain elements in the country had made him feel distinctly unwelcome. He reiterated that his sole purpose was to promote trade, yet sadly there were people out to crucify him for his beliefs.
Something like Jesus. But without the wisdom.
"Bigots and bullies I think they call 'em," he told Tolliver Cocklepot as he prepared tea and biscuits.
More as we get it.
