    When Arafat asked them to do the Hora, his advisers began to suspect the end was near.

    Yasser Arafat came out today and announced that he has entered into a polygamous gay civil marriage with the Hasan brothers of Gaza. Yazz, as his spouses refer to him, said “We’re going to sue to get our love legimized by the state. If Mohammad had at least 11 wives, why can’t I have a harem, too?”

    It’s Palestine’s #1 comedy, “Weekend at Yasser’s!” The Ramallah Star says, “It’s an Intifada of laughter!” The West Bank Advertiser gives it “5 Jihads!” and raves, “If there’s one movie you’re going to see before you sacrifice yourself in a martyrdom operation against the Zionists, this is it!” Ariel Sharon says, “I hated it! And I eat puppies!” “Weekend at Yasser’s” — in theaters now!

    One less…
    Terrorist to appease
    One less…
    Gnome to fry
    One less explode-a-dope
    To pick up after
    You should be happy
    But all you’ll do
    Is cry

    Meanwhile the civilized world will dance and pass out candy.
