IRAQ BROADCASTS HALF-EATEN SANDWICH TO PROVE SADDAM IS STILL ALIVE

But Former Mistress Doubts It Is Saddam’s Lunch


In an effort to convince the people of Iraq that President Saddam Hussein is still alive, Iraqi TV today broadcast pictures of a half-eaten sandwich purported to be the lunch of the Iraqi strongman.

The sandwich, which appeared to be a cheese sandwich, had been served on a gold plate on the ornate table of what appeared to be one of Saddam’s Presidential Palaces, along with a side of cole slaw.

While Saddam himself made no appearance in the twelve-minute video of the sandwich, Iraq’s Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz appeared briefly, saying, “Where did Saddam go? He was here just a minute ago – eating this sandwich, in fact.”

At the CIA, officials were studying the footage of the sandwich to try to determine when the sandwich had been served and if in fact it had been partially eaten by Saddam.

But their task was made more difficult by the fact that the Iraqi dictator routinely has as many as a dozen look-alike sandwiches prepared at lunchtime to be eaten by a dozen of his look-alikes.

On CNN, former Saddam mistress Parisoula Lampsos told host Larry King that she doubted the half-eaten sandwich was authentic, saying, “In all the time I was with Saddam, he never left a sandwich half-eaten – he was always looking over at my sandwich and going, ‘You gonna finish that?’”

When asked if she thought Saddam Hussein was dead or alive, Ms. Lampsos replied, “Even when I was with him it was hard to tell.”

This is getting really ludicrous... now we'll have army of experts trying to see if an half-eaten sandwich has indeed been eaten by Saddam :crosseye:

Of course, but we call them "Faith-based Humanitarian Aid" facilitators. Always gotta keep a positive spin on things...:cheeky:

I wonder how much that half-eaten sandwich could fetch on E-Bay.....

We'll have to find out. When we capture it that nasty old sandwich, we can put it up for auction, along with the rest of the spoils, government awarded contracts, etc. that are being auctioned off. Of course, we may have to keep it as evidence of Saddam pursuing "Biological Agents" even in the waning hours, of his days in power. I'm sure there will be a nice botulism culture on it, by then...:p

Sandwiches are de-lish.
What a war.

Homer Simpson drops a Uranium Pellet drop from his pocket which rolls under Saddam. Rumsfeld darts under the table, snatching up the pellet spits out "See? This is incontrovertible evidence of the nuclear weapons program the Iraqis have been pursuing!" He then pulls out some poorly forged documents showing that the pellet was bought five years ago in a North Korean Kimchee bar. "See this?" he exclaims, "These papers are the original bill of sale for the uranium" and wipes the still damp ink on his slacks, hoping noone will notice.

Meanwhile, LeMay's ghost adamantly bellows, "Saddam is dead, and one of my boys' bombs killed him. This is obviously a double." Saddam, offers to have dental records prove that the half-eaten sandwich on the table was indeed bitten by him in the last 24 hours, and blurts out, "Even your own forensic experts will back me on this." As a dentist, and the local field office for the FBI is called, Homer eats the rest of the sandwich, leaving Rumsfeld to challenge Saddam to arm-wrestle for the control of Iraq. Rumsfeld secretly hopes that his technological advantage (a joke buzzer hidden in his palm) will shock and awe Saddam into quick submission, but the wily Iraqi, holds out until the next commercial break.

Coming back from those important messages to buy Gilead Pharmaceuticals new products, genuine GM parts, and job offers for Arabic speaking oil workers from Halliburton, Larry King is dismayed that ratings have plunged lower than reruns for Hogan's Heroes and cuts the program short, announcing next week's new topic...Reality TV meets Gomer Pyle - what ever happened to Jim Nabors and Sergeant Carter, and are the salacious rumors about them true?

What kind of a man eats only a sandwich and no soup for lunch?

Geez,some dictators just don't know how to live it up.
