"Marines Reintroduce "U" to Iraqu"

(AP) Once a trophy of Saddam Hussein (who used it in his surname), the letter "U" was recently liberated by American Forces and returned to the Iraqui people, from whom it was stolen.

"I'm overjoyed", replied Akbar Al-Aziz, a Baghdad shopkeeper, "I intend to use the U as soon as possible. Oh, look at that, I just did...twice!"

Haliburton officials stated that the original batch of "U"s being deployed in Iraqu are manufactured in the US, and will be sold to the Iraqui government for a nominal, per use fee until such a time as Iraqu's domestic alphabetizing facilities are restored to full operational status, sometime in 2006.

It's from my own noggin, but it's nice to think something I cooked up in the dried walnut I call a brain could be considered "onion-worthy". :toast:
