A horrible Charlie Brown joke Charlie Brown and the rest of the Peanuts are doing a project for school that requires them to select the name of a country out of a hat. Lucy goes first and gets the United States. Linus goes up and picks Japan. Finally, after everybody else has selected their country, Charlie Brown is the only one left. He nervously steps up to the hat, picks a name out of it, and groans. Upon sitting back at his seat, Linus asks him what's wrong. Charlie Brown sighs and simply says, ""I got Iraq."" (Don't get it? Here's a hint: you need to pronounce Iraq a certain way to understand.)
