Really dark humor. In the Utne Reader. Enjoy. New Big Boom in Iraq - Jobs

There are so many other opportunities.  For example, you would think that the dozens of Saddam look-a-likes would be unemployable, but nothing could be further from the truth.  We have a plan.  Once they grow back their mustaches (and our intelligence says they all shaved) then they can get jobs in the new Saddam and Sons Horror Museum.  It's easy work.  All they have to do is stand around like statues and every now and then jump out at Iraqi visitors and scream, 'I'm back.'  Should be good for lots of laughs and, of course, there will be many jobs for ticket takers.

Like we said, dark humor.
