mehunter Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Dan Rather, Peter Jennings, Cokie Roberts and a tough old U.S. Marine Drill Sergeant were all captured by terrorist in Iraq. The leader of the terrorist told them he would grant them each one last request before they were beheaded. Dan Rather said “Well, I’m a Texan; so I’d like one last bowlful of hot spicy chili.” The leader nodded to 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 than 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 butt,” 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 butt,” insisted the Marine. So the leader shoved him into the open, and kicked him in the butt. The Marine went sprawling, but rolled to his knees, pulled a 9mm pistol from inside his cammies, and shot the leader dead. In the resulting confusion, he leapt to his knapsack, pulled out his M4 carbine and sprayed the terrorists with gunfire. In a flash, all the terrorists 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 in the beginning? Why did you ask them to kick you in the butt first?” “What,” replied the Marine, “and you three jerks report that I was the aggressor?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
