By recent order of the Secretary of Homeland Security, every cigar sold in this country is to have a plastic tip/mouthpiece which will quietly & automatically collect the smoker's DNA sample. It will then transmit the information to be checked against what we now know to be that of the deposed ruler. If there is a match, an alarm will sound on the cigar. Now Available at Palace Depot.

       Which will then explode.   

       Cuban cigars, of course.

       Yes, of course, because the US is the first place he's headed. But he's on to your scheme... he quit smoking. You'll never catch him now!   

       Why not build the DNA detector into all toilet seats in the US? Then you'll catch his ass.   

       Man, what a dumb idea this is.

       I certainly appreciate your diplomacy. Please consider that this invention cannot be baked due to the sensitive nature of the instrumentation. Not to mention the explosives. Back off.

       Well, he's got a point, flerper, don't you think?

       Feel free to snarf until it hurts. Personally, I'd just hurl a fishbone and move on.

       Well, you're not supposed to hurl them at yourself, bliss

       So... wait for him to smoke a cigar, then set off an alarm to tell him you're on to him. WOW! Why hadn't anyone thought of that before?!

       finally, I can try this out!

       Well, since Saddam has been captured, why don't you do the same thing for Bin Laden and HIS followers? And instead of cigar tracking, use a DNA sample from when he got shot (He's been around for a long time, so I bet it happened at least once.)

       Why try to catch Saddam (when he's already been caught)?   

       Are you a Pentagon advisor or something?
