- News Anchor Dan Rather and Peter Jennings, NPR Reporter Cokie Roberts and
a U.S. Marine were hiking through the desert one day when they were
captured by Iraqis. They were tied up, led to the village and brought
before the leader.
The leader said, "I am familiar with your western custom of granting the
condemned a last wish. 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."
Damn Funny......- Peter Jennings said, "I am Canadian, so I'd like to eat
some pure maple syrup on a plate of pancakes one last time". The leader
nodded to a terrorist who left and then shortly returned with pure maple
syrup and some pancakes. 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 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 a**," 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 a**," insisted the Marine. So the leader
shoved him into the open, and kicked him in the a**.
- The Marine went sprawling, but rolled to his knees, pulled a 9mm pistol
from inside his uniform, and shot the leader dead. In the resulting
confusion, he leapt to his rucksack, pulled out his M16, and sprayed the
Iraqis with gunfire. In a flash, the Iraqis were 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 a**
first?"
- "What!?" said the Marine, "And then have you three buttwipes call ME the
aggressor.
