Ah. Nature's pocket.

Gives "blowing it out your ass" a whole new meaning, don't it?

It's the perfect cover for the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy - "Honest, Captain, I was just checking for hidden explosives."

Good thing it did not go off while in there, otherwise, he really couldn't tell his ass from a hole in the ground, since they'd be pretty much the same thing.

Also gives a new meaning to the idea of explosive diareaha.

Actually, check the article - it was detonated electronically while he was with the Saudi prince, but his body contained the explosion's force so that the target only got an injury to his hand. The prince specifically stated that the bomber blew up.

That really took guts!

This cracks me up...

He said: "He surprised me by blowing himself up."

Pretty good example of Saudi's stoic sense for understatement.

He's gonna need something a tad more potent than Preparation H for that hemorrhoidal flare-up, methinks.

The origin of the word "petard" comes around full circle, and this gentleman was most assuredly hoist with his own.
