Amusement

I got the following story in my e-mail this afternoon. I thought it was so great that I have to share with everyone.

MARINES are always taught:

1) Keep your priorities in order and
2) Know when to act without hesitation.

A MARINE was attending some college courses between
assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and
Afghanistan. One of the courses had a professor who
was an avowed atheist and a member of the ACLU.

One day the professor shocked the class when he came
in, 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
professor was out cold. 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
taking care of America's soldiers who are protecting
your right to say stupid crap and act like a
butthead. So, He sent me."
