An Oldie but a Goodie

Posted on 11/03/2001 10:41:47 AM PST by celtic gal

A Taliban Army Platoon was on patrol when the commander noticed a lone Marine standing on a hilltop above their location. The commander told two of his soldiers to go take out the Marine, so they dropped their packs and promptly ran as fast as they could toward the Marine. Just before they got to the top, the Marine ran over the other side of the hill. The two soldiers followed. For the next few minutes there were bloody screams and dust flying in the air. Then just as quickly as it had started, it stopped and the Marine appeared back on the hilltop. He dusted off his cammies, straightened his cover, crossed his arms and stood there looking down at the Taliban soldiers.

The infuriated commander called for a squad to go get the Marine. They promptly ran as fast as they could toward him. Just before they got to the top, the Marine turnd and ran over the other side of the hill. The squad followed and for the next few minutes there were bloody screams and dust flying in the air. When it stopped, the Marine again appeared on top of the hill. He brushed off his cammies, straightened his cover, crossed his arms and stood looking at the remaining Taliban soldiers.

The commander was really hot now. He ordered the rest of the platoon to attack the Marine. Determined that Taliban soliers were far superior to one Marine, they had blood in their eyes as they ran up the hill. Just before they got to the top, the Marine ran over the other side of the hill. The blood-thirsty soldiers followed. For many minutes there were screams and clouds of dust flying in the air. It continued and continued.

When it finally stopped, one lone soldier came crawling back to the commander, all bloody and beat about the head and shoulders. His uniform was torn, cuts all over his body. The commander demanded a report. The lone soldier, trying to catch his breath, replied in a forceful yet trembling voice, " Sir, run.... it was a trick. There are two of them!"

This is a joke sent to me by a fellow retired Marine. The actual author is unknown to me but I thought all the Marines out there in Freeperland would enjoy this.

This joke took many forms. I heard it in Parris Island about either Koreans or Japanese fighters!

Interoffice memo
To All Employees:

We've just been notified by Security that 6 suspected terrorists have been working out of this office. Five of the six have been apprehended. Bin Sleepin, Bin Loafin, Bin Goofin, Bin Playin, and Bin Drinkin have been taken into custody.

Security advised us that they could find no one in our office fits the description of the sixth cell member, Bin Workin. Security is confident that anyone who looks like he's Bin Workin will be very easy to spot. You are obviously not a suspect at this time.

Thank you.

Management

This joke has been around. I first heard it WRT the Israelis and Egyptians during the 1967 war. If you have to stop and figure out which was which, fagetaboutit.
