JMcAndrew sends in these two, with an old man theme: “Trying to figure this one out. I’ve seen the movie “Grumpy Old Men” and don’t think that Walter Matthau looks anything like Saddam Hussein.”

JMcAndrew: I get the joke and I have seen “Blow Out” which is actually an excellent film. Submitted as an obvious eww but also considered that Travolta is now over 70 it wouldn’t be that surprising to find out he does have need for incontinence products.

4/21/2003 was a month into the sack of Iraq. Saddam had used body doubles to hide, and was being looked for. It would have made sense at the time – silly stories & spottings were everywhere.
The Walter Matthau joke would work much better if he used “Dennis the Menace” instead of “Grumpy Old Men”. (Not sure how many people saw it though…)
The mustache is such a strong signal that the movie where he’s clean-shaven doesn’t make much sense to me.
