I can think of something I’d like to place on Arafat’s tomb. Hint: I’d make it myself.

Probably with a little corn mixed in, too.

Might I suggest KFC with some extra gravy and a coke to help things percolate? I believe they have that potato dish with corn and gravy.....should do the trick.

I know he’s just being politically correct but Arafat was definately connected to the murders of Israeli athletes in Munich by the Egyptian press some time ago...IIRC....

Yeah, plus you have the added bonus that some of it might seep down into the ground on him.
