Just one of these stashes will be easy to take from Saddam's deserting army, and that will be enough to get us out of our day jobs. Unless, of course, you reservists are in love with your day jobs.

    Troy Barlow: Captain's at a staff meeting, sir.

    Archie Gates: Captain a proctologist?

    Conrad Vig: What's a proctologist, sir?
