Back to Iraq


A wire filament, chewing gum and a rock from another planet.

Name three things Fadhel Al-Maliki uses to relax.

Al-Maliki, a 35 year old Iraqi national, was actually arrested yesterday attempting to go through security at the Los Angeles International Airport.

When they pulled him aside after the alarm went off and waved the magic wand over him to find out what was causing the problem, he admitted he had some items with him that was probably causing the problem.

He then proceeded to drop his drawers in front of the shocked travelers and proceeded to pull a few miscellaneous items out of his rectum. You think I’m making this up, don’t you? You can read all about it in the LA Times.

I heard a story one time about a lady who went to the doctor because she couldn’t lose weight. The doctor told her to try eating her food a different way. Instead of eating food by mouth, he told her to start using the food as a suppository. He told her she would get all the nutrients she needed but he felt strongly she would lose weight. The doctor told her to come back in a month.

After doing the suppository diet for a month, the lady came back to the doctor. She looked so good and thin the doctor almost did not even recognize her. The doctor couldn’t help but notice that the lady’s hips were swaying back and forth as she stood in his office. Finally the doctor asked her why she was moving her hips from side to side..

Her reply: "I’m just chewing my gum."

When I first heard the news about the Iraqi, I thought maybe he was on the Suppository Diet. That would explain the chewing gum I suppose.

But I’m kinda struggling trying to figure out the rock and the wire filament.

His explanation to the authorities was the three items tucked safely away helped him to relax. Somebody needs to get this guy some Xanax or something.

He missed his flight to Philadelphia while he was pulling these things out. I understand they took him to jail.

If I had been in charge I would not have arrested him. I would have put him on the next plane back to Iraq.

Then maybe the rest of us could relax.

Well, I thought that I had heard of just about everything after dealing with the public for over 20 years and working in a hospital before that. I must say that this, well I would have never thought of that.

You've been writing about rockers all week, but this is certainly a new take on "getting wired and rocking out."
