Got a call for a behavioral patient last night. Arrived on scene and was told (in fearful tones) by the father that his son was becoming a terrorist. How did he know this? Because his son had become a vegan and grown a beard. Yes, apparently these are signs of a terrorist-in-training. The kid was just annoyed to be woken up, and the father nearly attacked us, claiming that we were trying to pin responsibility for all those people his son would (no doubt) kill on the family.
