REALLY BAD VACATIONS

The Mercury News

The U.S. military said Friday it may fill in the spider hole that Saddam Hussein used as his final hiding place to prevent it from becoming a tourist attraction.

Hmm.

Were I an enterprising military recruit, I'd sell all the tickets I could get someone to buy and tell the Army to take that $10,000 re-up bonus and shove it. Were I an enterprising commanding officer, I'd let all the Iraqis that wanted to sell tickets to it and teach them what real capitalism was all about. And were I a cynical SOB of the MP type, I'd walk every Ba'athist terrorist in custody by it and remind them every day of what happened to their hero. Such a USEFUL spider hole it could be if one only had a little imagination.

JW: You'd have to sell a lot of tickets to generate $10k on the Iraqi economy. :)

Yeah, but JW's ideas are really, really good.
