Vaguely funny joke about Iraq, and I do mean vaguely

[staticnewbie 0]

Saddam and George Bush meet in Saddam's palace for a round of talks.

When Bush sits down, he notices that on the arm of Saddam's armchair,
there are three buttons. They begin talking, and five minutes into the
discussion, Saddam presses the first button and a boxing glove springs
out from nowhere and punches Bush in the face.

Saddam finds this very amusing and begins to chuckle. Bush ignores this
in a hope to find peace.

Five minutes later, Saddam presses the second button, which causes a
boot to come out from under the table and kick Bush in the shin.

At this point, Saddam is in fits of laughter nearly falling out of his
seat. Bush is a tad p!ssed off but says to himself: "What the hell? If
we can make peace then it will all be worthwhile."

They continue their discussion and five minutes later, Saddam presses
the third button which causes another boot to come out from under the
table and kick Bush in the ballacks.

Saddam falls from his chair and is rolling around the floor in fits of
laughter.

Bush tells him: "I've had enough of this. I'm going back to Washington.
We'll talk about this in a couple of weeks."

Two weeks later, Saddam comes to the White House to resume the talks.
When he sits down, he notices that there are three buttons on Bush's chair.

Saddam thinks to himself: "Bush is obviously looking for revenge, but
I'm prepared."

They begin talking and Bush presses the first button. Saddam ducks,
expecting to be hit, and Bush bursts into laughter, but nothing happens
to Saddam.

A few seconds pass and the talk restarts. Then Bush presses the second
button. saddam jumps out of his chair to dodge any oncoming attack and
Bush starts laughing again. But still nothing happens to Saddam.

Saddam sits back down and Bush presses the third button. Saddam dives to
the floor. Bush is laughing hysterically, but still nothing happens.

Saddam decides that he's had enough and says: "Fook this, I'm going back
to Baghdad."

Through tears of laughter, Bush says: "What Baghad?"

This username sucks, so I'm BBKid now instead. Replies, insults, sexual favours and death threats to be sent there from now on.

Funniest part imo.

A quote from Sky News:

"Umm Qasr is a city similar to Southampton," UK defence minister Geoff Hoon said in The Commons yesterday.

"He's either never been to Southampton, or he's never been to Umm Qasr" says a British Squaddie patrolling Umm Qasr.

Another soldier added: "There's no beer, no prostitutes and people are shooting at us. It's more like Portsmouth."



Trivia time: In 1980, the city of Detroit awarded the freedom of the city to one Saddam Hussein. Ooops.

Let me see: shipping have problems entering this channel due to dangerous objects lurking beyond the surface of the water, and the locals crowd at the ports speaking strange dialects, desperate for the most basic essentials which their impoverished position prevents them from accessing.

I'd say Umm Qasr = Manchester
