3 Saddam's biggest problem was that the rope was too short.

Personally, I believe the drop was too short. They should have taken him up to about 25,000 feet in a C-130, wrapped him in about 400 yards of double-bass G-string piano wire, and dropped him 2000 feet off the back ramp with a heavy wire cable over the Persian Gulf. No burial required, no body to be found, no martyrdom - he just "disappeared". Then just grin wickedly at MonkeyMan.

6 Hee Hee from Rueful Red at 'em ninme's place to the tune of the famous show tune from Mall Fair Lady: On the Street Where You Shiv
“I have often stood on these floor before.
But the trapdoor always stayed beneath my feet before.
All at once am I just a bit too high
And I hope that that rope’s got some give.

Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?
Though it’s less than likely I’ll be in that part of town
Once I take that drop, there’s nothing to stop…
Oh I hope that that rope’s got some give.

But oh, that wonderful feeling, to know that my deathly hush
Will be broken by WaPo revealing
That, as a martyr, I’m still smarter than George Bush.

Are there funny jokes for this kind of fix?
Or are Sunni folks now fated just to take their licks?
There’s the camera! Hi! I’ll just wave good-bye!
Oh I hope that that rope’s got some give!”
