BANGLADESH - Recently freed Guantanamo Bay prisoner Anish Kali returned to his home in Dhaka today and gave his son his birthwright: a golden watch. The watch had been hidden on Kali's person during the entirety of his six year detention.
"I am so glad that I was able to give my son, Anu, this golden watch," said Kali, 73, who had been detained in 2007 on charges of conspiracy to sell bootleg copies of the massively disappointing "The Soprano's" finale. "Although it had been excruciatingly painful to hide this uncomfortable hunk of metal up my backside for six long, agonizing years, seeing the look on his face was almost worth it," Kali confessed. "Almost."
The watch -- a 1985 Casio A159WGEA men's gold tone, stainless steel digital watch -- was purchased by Kali's father upon returning from Afghanistan. He bequeathed the watch to his son Kali two years later when he unexpectedly choked to death on a fig, and ever since Kali had been planning to pass the watch along to his son.
"It's an okay watch," said his son Anu, who wasn't wearing it at the time of his interview. "I have it somewhere. I think it's next to my Xbox, maybe."
