The Marine and the professor

I just came across this blog Blonde Sagacity which had this story. Dear sweet God I wish it were true. Most people who had to listen to this crap in college would cheer to see this happen to the vapid windbag they had to sit and listen to.

Maybe you've seen this before, but someone sent it and I just had to post
it... It reminded me of a true story from when my mom was in school. She had a
philosophy professor that wrote "God is Dead" -Nietzsche on the board and before
he got into class she wrote "Nietzsche is Dead" -God underneath. He was not
amused..."A United States 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 a vowed atheist and a member of the ACLU.

One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He 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 protecting America 's soldiers who are
protecting your right to say stupid shit and act like an asshole. So, He sent
me."

Oh, if only...

Ka-POW!! BTW, great blog Blonde!
