More Hero Stuff

Anchors Dan Rather, Peter Jennings and NPR Reporter Cokie Roberts, along with one Marine assigned to protect them were hiking through the Iraq desert one day when they were captured by Insurgents.
They were tied up, led to a village, and brought before the leader. The leader said, “I am familiar with your western custom of granting the condemned a last wish so, before we kill and dismember you, do you have any last requests?”
Dan Rather said, “Well, I’m a Texan so I’d like one last bowl of hot spicy chili.” The leader nodded to an underling who left and returned with the chili. Rather ate it all and said, “Now I can die content.”
Peter Jennings said, “I am Canadian, so I’d like to hear the song ‘O Canada’ one last time.” The leader nodded to a terrorist who had studied the Western world and knew the music. He returned with some rag-tag musicians and played the anthem. Jennings sighed and declared he could now die peacefully.
Cokie Roberts said, “I’m a reporter to the end. I want to take out my tape recorder and describe the scene here and what’s about to happen. Maybe someday someone will hear it and know that I was on the job till the end.”
The leader directed an aide to hand over the tape recorder and Roberts dictated some comments. She then said, “Now I can die happy.”
The leader turned and said, “And now, Mr. U.S. Marine, what is your final wish?” “Kick me in the ass,” said the Marine.
“What?” asked the leader. “Will you mock us in your last hour?”
“No, I’m not kidding. I want you to kick me in the ass,” insisted the Marine. So the leader shoved him into the open, and kicked him in the ass. The Marine went sprawling, rolled to his knees, pulled a 9 mm pistol from inside his cammies and shot the leader dead. In the resulting confusion, he leapt to his knapsack, pulled out his M 4 carbine and sprayed the rest of the Insurgents with gunfire. In a flash, all of them were either dead or fleeing for their lives.
As the Marine was untying Rather, Jennings and Roberts, they asked him, “Why didn’t you just shoot them? Why did you ask them to kick you in the ass?”
“What,” replied the Marine, “and have you three ass holes call me the aggressor?”

You really wanted to be a guy didn’t you cao?

Hey Frenchie, wrong blog. Cao is here. And no I didn’t really want to be a guy. I love men who have been in/are in the American military, especially Marines. Unlike some women. And so you know-I HATE the French.

Men are absolutely delicious (especially in an Army, Airforce or Marine Corps Uniform :razz:) We love our lingerie, our guns, and spike heels–and know how take care of our men, right Raven? Some of us, like Raven, are married to to a Marine. (once a Marine, always a Marine) I can’t tell you how many people visit my blog who are either in the armed forces or married to someone who is. But of course, you wouldn’t know anything about that stuff, would you, frenchie?
Hehe you’re a trip, Raven…:wink:

Apparently, Frenchie made the rounds (she went to Superhawk’s site, too) and then came back to my site and said something like “I take it you got my message”. Too chicken to post that on my site, I guess….poor little frail flower can’t even defend herself.

Yes Cao, we do know how to please men. I remember an article several months ago about a study being done, results that Republicans were far sexier and better in bed. I have to say-through experience-it’s true. All the hype about the French men, and what good lovers they are-ick. Don’t even go there. ;)
