Are you a terrorist? It is ok you can tell me.

I do not know how many of you have recently gotten a new job, but I noticed something when I was filling out paper work for Ohio State. I was in fill out the usual documents like my W-4, Health Insurance, and power of attorney when they handed me a new document to sign. This one asks me if I am or have ever been apart of a terrorist organization that is on the U.S. list of terror. There were five questions asking me yes or no if I am a terrorist. Now I am not saying that this is racist or that the Patriot Act is a invasion of our privacy, but I began thinking about this if I was an actual terrorist and filling out this form. (I am not a terrorist, I love America, and please government stop reading my blog) Now, if a terrorist was actually filling out this form would you think they would actually answer yes to these questions? Like this is our best line of defense against terrorists, the same type of questionnaire that people survey about what they like about their fabric softener. I was getting nervous when answering the questions in case I did screw up an circled yes that I was a terrorist and wondering if I did, then all of the sudden the office gets raided by FBI agents and I am drugged and taken off to Guantanamo Bay. Luckily I passed with flying colors and am a proud American. Strange, there is this Flower Delivery van with a satellite on top parked outside my apartment all the time...how long does it take to deliver flowers?
