Band forms a question mark.

"He knew he was destined for greatness early in his life.  He spent his free time playing mumbly peg with dim-witted quadrupeds.  In his high school yearbook, he appears as the captain of the Schozophrenia Club.  Les his cherished 0.2 grade point average be wasted, he plots for the blackmail of the principal, and earns the title of valedictorian for life.

Idi parades down sideline while band plays "Pomp and Circumstance".  Plants in audience throw objects and boo.  Band forms a heart.

"Idi then goes away to Uganda A & M University, where he majors in civil disobedience,  He works at odd jobs to make money, spending his weekends working as a tailgunner on a banana truck.  It was during this period that he met the first of his several hundred wifes.  She was a patient recuprerating from a prefrontal lobotomy, but she could not resist his passionate overtures.  Her name was Digwhat, and after a brief honeymoon, Idi and Digwhat Amin made their home in a late model Cadillac.

Band plays a love song, marches into two cannons facing each other.

The disaster struck…a civil war broke out, and the flower of Uganda's youth  were wiped out in the fighting, half-brother against half-brother.  A V.D. epidemic spreads through the country as well, but young Idi, largely because of the resistance he had developed, spurns the penicillin he is offered.  He takes over command of the rebel troops from a field post in Israel, where he is given the nickname coon ass.                                    (War Against V.D.?)

Band plays "Over There" Marches into flag formation.

With the war over, Idi runs for president against the late incumbent.  Thanks to his clever politicking, he had 5 times more votes than the entire population of Uganda.  Under his leadership, the biggest domestic industry is that of the undertakers.  The literacy rate has fallen, etc.  The MOB has formed the new national flag of Uganda, two loose screws on a field of ignorance.
