HOUSE PAINTER TURNS TERRORISM INTO PICK-UP LINE

HOUSE PAINTER TURNS TERRORISM INTO PICK-UP LINE



SANTA FE, N.M. (Wireless Flash) – Ever since September 11, a new phrase has entered the lexicon: “We need to continue to do [this or that] or we’re letting the terrorists win.” So far, the phrase has been used to justify everything from riding subways to getting your nails done, and that annoys a house painter in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Jim Terr thinks the “anti-terrorist” excuse works better as a pick-up line than a political belief system, and has put the phrase into a love song he wrote called “Don’t Let The Terrorists Win.” Some of the lyrics include, Come live with me in sin/ Don’t let the terrorists win. Terr thinks the song will become a popular pick-up line a la “What’s your sign?” but warns that anyone who uses such a stupid pick-up line “...deserves what they get.”
