The 8 Saddam body doubles were gathered in one of the bunkers in downtown Baghdad.
Tariq Aziz, the Deputy Prime Minister walked in and said, " I have Good News and Bad News. The good news is that Saddam is still alive, so you all still have jobs."
One of the doubles spoke up and said, "What's the bad news"? To which Tariq replied, "He's lost an arm".
OHHHH NOOOOO, Mr.Bill.
Now I'm trying to remember an old movie in which a circus strongman falls in love with a performer (Joan Crawford?) who has a (ahem) peculiar phobia re being held. The strongman has his arms amputated, the better to "hold" you ny dear.
And it had been such a beautiful day until now.
I guess that's better than saying he lost his life........
I don't know why so many people are so shocked. In our country, sometimes it costs an arm and a leg to get medical care.
c.i.
could be worse. body double gets his left arm cut off and when aziz see's him say's no, no, no, it's the right arm...............
...or was it the right leg......
Such disarming wit!
Were they taking up arms against the Imperial aggressor?
Or just giving up their sidearms?
Oh well, that's what they get for hiding inside the armory.
Hopefully it led to an armistice ... and the end of all armed conflict.
Waving the white flag to surrender: "Dont shoot! I'm unarmed!"
Our response: "Put your legs over your head, and no arm will come to you!"
Whew, at least they were able to get out of arms way.
But that's what you get for joining the army.
The long arm of the law is no match for the short arm of the outlaw.
That's what I call a hands-off management style.
I guess they were just short-handed.
Everybody needs a hand, now and then.
Rumsfeld always said they would welcome us with open arms.
At least they didn't have to get a leg up on the competition.
Sad. No more freelance work as a handyman.
And to think the Iraqi women thought he was quite handsome!
