There was consternation in terror circles today when it emerged that the Prince of Wales may have accidentally paid terror leader Sir Osama bin Laden a compliment during an after-dinner speech last year. The compliment, which is believed to have been a backhanded one, was delivered to members of the Lords Cricket Club by the expensive prince last December at an annual dinner.
According to members, the 600 year old heir expressed the sentiment towards the end of an otherwise incomprehensible talk made up of fevered non sequiturs, and some of them weren’t even sure if it was a compliment as such. The alleged terror aficionado was unavailable for comment today, and calls to his private zeppelin were answered with a recorded message of the Roaring Forties, a maritime wind, which some pundits have called, “political correctness gone meteorological.”
But Sam Stemple, head of the prince’s baboon retinue, dismissed the incident as trivial, “compared to what the Prince would like to have said.”
“I can in no way condone my actions, which are an affront to human kind,” harangued Sir Osama, in a video retort posted on YouTube, “but any more laudatory gestures, and I shan’t be responsible for what I do.”
