Since then, he has had serious medical problems. After suffering an aneurysm, he is now in a wheelchair and needs regular dialysis. He argues that if he is deported to India, he will die because he won't be able to get proper medical treatment there.

Send him to the mountains between Pakistan and Afganistan. They have excellent kidney treatments there.

I'm not sure what's funny about having to have your blood removed from your body and filtered out on a regular basis?

well of course it wouldnt be funny if you take it too seriously and forget to have a sense of humour about it. you'll find most jokes lose their humour if you take them literally.

This is what happens when our refugee system is soooo slow. If it worked like it should, refugee claims should be heard and decided within months to prevent these people from starting lives in Canada and then making it that much harder to remove them (not just for the government but for themselves aswell).

Ok... so without taking it literally, how is it funny?

It's funny because Bin Laden is apparently being kept alive by dialysis. Hence the " Send him to the mountains between Pakistan and Afganistan. They have excellent kidney treatments there."

Mind you, it looses it's luster when you have to explain it.

Firefly asked what was so funny about dialysis. Instead of responding with "No, I meant I thought the Bin Laden comment was funny."- she was told she lacked a sense of humour.

That's what happens when you quote an entire post and say it was funny; instead of quoting the funny part and say it was funny.

Thats what I was hung up on. I thought the fact that he was on dialysis in general was meant to be funny.

Yeah, I didn't know Bin Laden was supposedly on dialysis. A bit more context there would've helped.
