Niles Is Disappoint

On a recent gift-giving occasion, Niles bought what he hoped would be a very timely gift. I collect foreign currency (I only do it for the pictures), and I've been assembling a collection of Former Dictators. I have Saddam and Niyazov so far. As far as I can tell, neither Castro or Chavez has been egomaniac enough to put his kisser on the currency -- nor has even the Dear Leader, but his dad does appear on some notes.

So anyway, Niles was sure he'd be a winner with this:

Sadly, no.

Even for Khaddaffy, that's a silly pose. Looks like he got drunk one day, put his laundry on his head and decided to do a Jack Benny impersonation. "That one! That's the portrait that goes on the money! Ha ha! I was flying that night. Make it so."
