“If I only had some courage…”
Saddam Hussein’s body was stabbed in the back, says guard
The body of Saddam Hussein was stabbed six times after he was executed, according to the head guard at the former president’s tomb north of Baghdad, who was one of the people that helped bury the corpse.
So back to the bar:
(the After the-school-gets-built Baghdad Special):
Farrukh: “So Saddam is swinging like cat in a room filled with ”
Abdul: “What, Farrukh, like you were there…”
Farrukh: “I was there, I tell it true. Saddam the bastard tied up chanting as they put the noose around his head. I think he still believed they were only bluffing—you know hoping he would start giving coordinates for the WMD’s!”
Alli Baba: “Did he poo his trousers mate?”
Yusuf: “What’s wrong with you Alli Baba? What was he chanting Farrukh?”
Farrukh: “I don’t know about that, but I can tell you that Saddam was a cold hearted bastard all the way down until his neck popped off like a dandelion top. He wasn’t chanting, he was singing, 24 hours to go, by Johnny Cash!”
Yusuf: “He was singing? His blood is like ice! Wow, so you were there, in the very room…”
Farrukh: “Yup singing one second and swinging the next!”
Abdul, Alli Baba, Yusuf: Hahaha! That’s a good one Farrukh!
Farrukh: “I can go one better than that mates, I stabbed him in the bum.”
Abdul, Alli Baba, Yusuf: “Get out of here! You stabbed Saddam? On his way up the gallows?”
Farrukh: “Yeah, that’s right, well not exactly on his way up.”
Abdul, Alli Baba: “Yusuf: Dude you didn’t stab him after he was dead?”
Farrukh: “Well, yeah, I’m not crazy!”
Yusuf: “Yeah, but dude, he was already dead!”
Farrukh: “Yeah, dead, but I still stabbed the rat bastard.”
Alli Baba: “But he was already dead, it doesn’t count”
Abdul and Yusuf: “Alli Baba is right it doesn’t count.”
Farrukh: “Oh, man! No fair!”
Abdul, Alli Baba: “You’re bringing us down dude. Let’s get out of here…”
