- An army marches on its stomach but survives on its humor.
- To keep up the spirits of U.S. forces in the Middle East,
- funnyman Jay Leno will draw a punch line in the sand this
- Thanksgiving holiday, when he plans to entertain troops in
- Saudi Arabia. "My audience went over there, so I'm gonna follow
- them. You go where the work is," jokes the comedian. It seems
- rather selfish to him not to be going. "Not to sound
- flag-wavey, but I haven't really been asked to make tremendous
- sacrifices to be an American so far." Besides, he'll be
- playing to a captive audience. Says he: "If they don't like it,
- where are they gonna go? A hundred yards into the desert?"
