Last night I was in the Home Depot at Halstead and Diversy when I turned a corner and stopped dead in my tracks. There, standing before me, was Zubair Ghias, the Lincoln Park investment banker turned national liar. Everyone should remember Zubair from back in February when he told the police that Al Qaeda had kidnapped him and was taking him to Morocco or something, but really he was just having a hard time with his wife and wanted an excuse to get away (Federal charges were soon pressed). Needless to say I stopped and stared for several seconds. A reenactment of that scene is below.

I then immediately called my friend Kaytey who had gone to high school with Zubair. "I saw Zubair!" I yelled into my cellphone, like the true star-fucker that I am. Kaytey squealed back in excitement, and we rehashed all the details of his faux Al Qaeda adventure. Really, it's the little things in life.
