HUMOR FROM THE WAR ON TERROR

I have to thank my friend Ann-Marie for this one. It was only a matter of time until the jokes started flowing, so hopefully this is a cutting edge piece.

It seems that …

… A U.S. Marine squad was marching north of Basra when they came upon an Iraqi terrorist, badly injured and unconscious.

On the opposite side of the road was a Marine in similar but less serious state.

The Marine was conscious and alert and while first aid was being given to both men the squad leader asked the injured Marine what had happened.

The Marine reported, "I was heavily armed and moving north along the highway here, and coming south was a heavily armed insurgent. We saw each other and both took cover in the ditches along the road.

"I yelled to him that 'Saddam Hussein is a miserable, lowlife, scumbag.'

"He yelled back, 'Ted Kennedy is a good-for-nothing, fat, left-wing liberal drunk.'

"So I said, 'Osama Bin Laden dresses and acts like a frigid, mean-spirited woman!'

"He retaliated by yelling, 'Oh yeah? Well so does Hillary Clinton!'

"And, there we were, standing in the middle of the road, shaking hands, when a truck hit us."
