Seven-Card Scud

(Sorry, couldn't resist).

This morning I heard about the mililary's playing-card version of a "most wanted Iraqis" list. But I didn't think they'd put it on an actual deck of playing cards.

After glancing over the cards I realize the offhand remark that (former) Iraqi information minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf should be easy to spot because he does not don the "typical Iraqi black moustace."

I'd say that over 90% of the cards have that in common (mimicking a bad stand up:) even the woman.

I see the potential for great poker wild cards. No more one-eyed jacks, etc. Anyone without facial hair is wild, anyone alleged to have ordered chemical weapon attacks, anyone Rummy has mentioned by name.
