Shacked up with Saddam: Boris's Account
 
                                                                             Boris
This account was written not long after everyone's favorite yak, Boris, arrived at the home of Saddam Hussein in a mysterious packing crate with a gift bow on top.

 Saddam's Secretary: Mistah Hussein, box come in mail for you. Big box.
Saddam: Oh, must be gift from hostile neighbors. Bring it here!
(Saddam carefully opens box... Boris jumps out)
Boris: I'm free! I'm free!
Saddam: Boris! What are you doing here? Have you come to pay the drycleaning bill for my chaise lounge?
(Boris looks at chaise lounge which has a permanent faint brown splotch on it)
Boris: Nooooo... actually I was sent by Bill Clinton.
Saddam: Ah, Bill... Secretary, remind me to send Mistah Clinton a nice slab of moldy cheese.
Secretary: Yes, Mistah Hussein.
Saddam: Now, if you must be here, stand in that corner and don't touch anything!
Boris: Not anything? Not even the floor? It might be hard to stand in the corner if I can't touch the floor.
Saddam: Stupid yak! You can stand on the floor. But don't say anything or touch anything. I have important work to do and did not plan on an unwanted guest.
(Saddam sits at his desk and types information into his computer. Boris hums.)
Saddam: Be quiet, yak! (throws stapler at Boris)
Boris: Ahh! (ducks and picks up stapler when it hits the floor) I think you dropped this. You should be more careful! Someone could get hurt!
Saddam: No, I'm not that fortunate. (continues with his work)
(Boris, being bored, takes this opportunity to play a rendition of 'Mary had a little lamb' using flatulance.)
Saddam: Ah! You are going to stain the wall, just like you did my chaise lounge! Come, and stand right here! (pointing to edge of desk)
Boris: Right there?
Saddam: Right here.
Boris: But how can I be here and there at the same time?
Saddam: Yak... (scowls)
Boris: I'm coming, I'm coming. (stands near edge of desk) So... I've heard those nicotine patches work really well... the only trouble is that it's kinda hard to keep them lit...
Saddam: (growls)
Boris: Hey, what are you doing?
Saddam: Finishing the intricate details on a subtle plan to preogressively take over the world.
Boris: You're going to take over the world?
Saddam: Yes.
Boris: With a subtle plan?
Saddam: Exactly.
Boris: Subtle plan... is that like, flying up into the sky with a big spraying machine and shooting everyone with processed cheese food and green spam?
Saddam: No, that is not quite what I had in mind.
Boris: Then how about sending everyone in the world Bob Dylan CD's and forcing them all to listen to them at the same time? That would be enough to make me surrender to your power...
Saddam: Stupid yak! You wouldn't know a subtle plan if it jumped up, painted itself green, took off it's clothes and danced on a piano singing "Subtle plans are here again."
(Boris contemplates being insulted... decides it is a waste of energy... falls down)
Boris: Saddam?
Saddam: What do you want now?
Boris: I've fallen and I can't get up... hey, this is really nice carpet! Polyester weave?
Saddam: No, oak panels.
Boris: Oh... (strokes the floor)
Saddam: (shakes his head)
Boris: Saddam?
Saddam: WHAT??????
Boris: I think I love you... (makes kissing noises)
Saddam: Are you going to let me complete my plans sometime today? And get up off the floor!
Boris: (picks himself up off of the floor) What does this button do?
Saddam: That button releases a launch missile. Don't press it.
Boris: Well... what does this button do?
Saddam: It turns on the SDI defense mechanism so we can track foreign objects.
Boris: Oh. What does this button do?
Saddam: It turns on the back massager in my reclining desk chair.
Boris: And this button? (presses button)
Saddam! NOOOOO!!!!
(Boris observes the computer's monitor go blank)
Boris: oops...
Saddam: That button deletes my subtle plan to take over the world! (sobbing)
Boris: I'm sorry!
Saddam: Out! Out out OUT!
Boris: Out where?
(Saddam calls the secretary... tells her to send in the guards)
Guards: Yes, Saddam.
Saddam: Take this... thing! Deposit it in the nearest desert!
Guards: Yes, sir. (dragging Boris out of the office)
Boris: Ooh, did somebody say dessert? Can we have chocolate ice cream? With chocolate fudge and chocolate sprinkles?
(Guards close door)
Saddam: My guards will take that yak where no one will ever see him again! (evil laughter)
