Iraq’s capital… hmmm…. is it Sackfather?

Swing and a miss, Patty.

Well Peppermint Patty SURELY you can BAGH this answer, DAD! ;D

But, Peppermint Patty, the pinch-hitter you’d use would call you ‘Sir’! :-D

But the pinch hitter has to be sent in before the pitch is thrown. She should know that.

Just give the place a baseball team. Then she would remember it.

Before 8=2=91, when Hussain annexed Kuwait, no one knew or cared. A day later it became Sandbox time.

She should have used her one telephone call to Alexa.

The city of Baghdad was founded in the 8th century as the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate, by its caliph al-Mansur. The original city was designed in the shape of a circle two kilometres across. The circle was the caliph’s tribute to the geometric teachings of Euclid, whom he had studied and admired. Now, with Baghdad having originally been known as the “Round City”, I can well imagine Lucy walking along with Violet or Frieda, catching sight of Charlie Brown and staring at his head for a moment, and then saying, “You know, I learnt a really interesting fact about Baghdad at school today…”

If she were in the Cash Cab, she could use either a Street Shout-out, or a Mobile Shout-out.

Too bad life is not a baseball game.

The capital of Iraq is “I”. Anyone can see that just by looking a the way the word is spelt.

“Now answering for Peppermint Patty…Marcie!”

It’s a miracle that she hasn’t been held back.

These days The capital of Iraq is$2.37

I think I is the answer, Patty, although it doesn’t seem to make grammatical sense!

I am reasonable sure that they do not allow pinch hitters in school.

It’s ironic, but the October War is only a month away in 1973.

It was a nice try..she had to take a swing at it!

The capital of Iraq is “I”. The “raq” are lowercase.

SWING! Batter, batter batter…

Back in the days of the Gulf War, I told a few of my co-workers that I had heard on the news they had arrested one of Sadam Hussein’s sons. They all went, “Really??”

I said, “Yeah, now they’re going to Bag-Dad”.

No, but if this was Who Wants to Be a Millionaire you could either pole the class or phone a friend.

That one will make you look it up. But for me even more so is the capitol of IRAN.

Wrong field.

Totally heavy, man…bad vibes….

FUN FACT. 83% of Americans cannot locate Iraq on a globe.

typical jock

The was a pre-1990 strip.

Never mind. You dont have to answer this silly question. Education will doom you.

The capital of Iraq is ‘I’.
