It's Friday, so you know it's time for the wire services to post the non sequitur non-news story of Mahmoud Abbas praying at a mosque.

However, this week's different... this week we're going to start a new feature called:

WHAT IS MAHMOUD ABBAS PRAYING FOR?

So, from Mahmoud Abbas' expressions, can you tell what Mahmoud Abbas is praying for?

Is it:

a) Representative-elect Keith Ellison to stop sending fruit baskets. The apricots are killing him.

b) For his aides to stop rummaging through his trashbin for food. The apricots are killing them, too.

c) You know that knick-nack paddywhack give a dog a bone, song? What the hell is a paddywhack?

d) Those bloody bells to stop! Where do we keep the guided missiles? Is there any way we can stop sending the inventory to Beit Hanun for a day and use some Qassams on those damned Bethlehem bastards?

e) To win this weekly Simon Says competition for once so he can wear the hat and the dress.

f) Willie to eat his heart out. Sing it, Johnny Otis!

or

g) NONE OF THE ABOVE

Put your guesses in the comments.
