Two things to know before you read below: Marines are taught 1) Keep your priorities in order and 2) Know when to act without hesitation.
A Marine was attending a college course between missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. The professor, an avowed atheist, shocked the class one day when he walked in, looked toward the ceiling, and said loudly, "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 and the professor began his lecture. Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, "Here I am God - still waiting."
It got down to the last minute when the Marine stood up, walked toward the professor and threw his best punch knocking him off the platform and out cold. The Marine went back to his seat and sat down.
The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there looking on in silence. The professor 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 is busy today protecting America's soldiers who are protecting your right to behave like an idiot and say stupid stuff. So He sent me

I did hear this before, in fact, I sent it to my son when he was in boot camp. He is in the Navy, attached to a Marine unit.
As long as we got have all of our military out there protecting us I sleep better at night.
Thanks to all of you.

One of the best damn jokes I've heards, even though I've heard it before, it's still damn good. God Bless you, and that Marine in the classroom who knocked the professor out cold within 15 minutes the prof allocated to God.

I've been listening to that joke since I joined the Marines in 96.
I laugh like a hyena every time I hear it.
