Been Laden, Done That!

The lecturer was handing out copies of the recently-arrived textbook today in class. He called out the name of each student, and when the student came up to take the textbook, he checked the name off on a little piece of paper. When he came to one of the names, he frowned, and stopped. It seemed as though he had difficulty pronouncing one of the names, which isn't uncommon, as the class is pretty multicultural. After a few moments of intense deliberation, in the rather apologetic attitude of using a particularly nasty swear word he wasn't used to, he blurted the name of the student.

"Osama!"

I had to work really hard to suppress a laugh as the benign-looking bloke sitting right beside me raised a tentative hand.

I'm going to change my name to Hitler.
