Sir Gonzales: How do you know he is a terrorist?
Peasant #1: He looks like one!
Sir Gonzales: Bring him forward.
“Terrorist”: I’m not a terrorist, I’m not a terrorist!
Sir Gonzales: But you are dressed as one.
“Terrorist”: They dressed me up like this.
Peasant #2: No! Nooo! We didn’t! We didn’t!
“Terrorist”: And this isn’t my beard, it’s a false one.
Sir Gonzales: [lifts off giant fake beard] Well?
Peasant #2: Well, we did do the beard.
Sir Gonzales: The beard?
Peasant #1: And the turban. But he is a terrorist!
