Before the war last April, being a Sadaam double could have easily been a very pleasant line of work in Iraq. You put on your green uniform and black beret and pretend to be Sadaam at some social function, then collect your check and go home. Problem is, now that the war is over and Sadaam has lost, looking like him can be a real liability. Everyone wants to kill you, or at least turn you in for $25 million. I wonder what the Sadaam doubles are doing right now.
Shaving, I should think.
They’re standing in line for auditions. What film you ask? “The Great Dictator: Part Deux!”
Possibly putting actor Jerry Haleva out of work.
Auditioning to double for Tom Selleck, perhaps?
I hear a joke:
The Iraqi minister in charge of Saddam’s doubles gathers them all together and says, “I have some good news and some bad news.”
“What is the good news,” they cry.
“Our beloved leader is still alive.”
“And what is the bad news?”
“He lost an arm.”
