<p>By Emily Mitchell/Reported by Wendy Cole

<p> 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?"
