One Marine

[NullSmurf]

My mother sent me this chain email:

A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments. He had completed tours in Iraq and
Afghanistan. One of his classes was being taught by a professor who was an avowed atheist and a member of the ACLU.

One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, "God, if you are real, then I
want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly 15 minutes."

The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, "Here I am God. I'm
still waiting." It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him, knocking him off the platform.

The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently. The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there looking on
in silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, "What the hell is the matter with you?
Why did you do that?"

The Marine calmly replied, "God was too busy today protecting America's soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid shit
and act like an asshole, so He sent me."

There's a thread for jokes:

Time for a JOKE

Search the lobby for the word "joke" and you can find it fairly easily. It's also a good place to look for old jokes like this one that have been passed around for quite some time.

Old, too stupid to be funny, too serious to be a joke, just worthless junk mail clogging up your mailbox.

Thanks, Bill. I considered the joke thread, but decided against it.
