(2003-04-28) — Saddam Hussein celebrated his 66th birthday today with the traditional cake and ice cream with friends and family.
The surprise party, organized by one of his wives, came as quite a shock to Mr. Hussein.
“When we jumped out from behind the chemical drums and shouted ‘Surprise!’, Saddam just fainted dead away,” said an unnamed wife. “When he revived, he joined in the hilarity with a game of pin the tail on the camel. He’s quite a cut up. He’s staggering around blindfolded saying, ‘Where is my command and control? I cannot find the camel’s hump with both hands.’”
Sources say the bunker where the party took place was decorated in black crepe and black balloons. There were, of course, the expected jokes about Saddam having ‘one foot in the grave’.”
A banner strung between two nerve-agent tipped missiles said, “Holy Hans Blix! Look Who’s Sixty-Six.”
Birthday greeting for the beloved leader poured into the secret location. The single card came from a Fedayeen Saddam martyr, who unfortunately could not attend the event.
