It is surprising how little it takes to bring a smile to someone's face in Iraq. At last night’s party, I hid a bucket filled with little squirt guns. Eventually someone found them and started squirting people. Then, everyone tried to get their hands one of the thirty squirt guns I had purchased. After that, someone foolishly squirted a man who had a trio of very large squirt guns. Needless to say, the whole party quickly escalated into a small scale war and everyone ended up getting a least a little wet. It helped them blow off the steam that had built up over the last few weeks.
