You Got to Love Those Marines!

A United States Marine was attending some collegecourses between assignments. He had completed missionsin Iraq and Afghanistan.One of the courses had a professor who was an avowedatheist and a member of the ACLU. One day theprofessor shocked the class when he came in. He lookedto the ceiling and flatly stated, 'God, if you arereal, then I want you to knock me off this platform.I'll give you exactly 15 minutes.' The lecture roomfell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minuteswent by and the professor proclaimed, 'Here I am God.I'm still waiting.'It got down to the last couple of minutes when theMarine 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 tohis seat and sat there, silently. The other studentswere shocked and stunned and sat there looking on insilence.The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken,looked at the Marine and asked, 'What the heck is thematter with you Why did you do that' The Marinecalmly replied, 'God was too busy today protectingAmerica's soldiers who are protecting your right tosay stupid stuff and act like an idiot. So, He sent me.'
