Dan Rather, Jesse Jackson, Cokie Roberts, and an American Marine were
>>> hiking through the jungle one day when they were captured by
cannibals.
>>> They were tied up, led to the village and brought before the chief.
>>>
>>> The chief said, "I am familiar with your western custom of granting
the
>>> condemned a last wish. Before we kill and eat you, do you have any
last
>>> requests?"
>>>
>>> Dan Rather said, "Well, I'm a Texan; so I'd like one last bowl
full of
>>> hot, spicy chili."
>>>
>>> The chief nodded to an underling, who left and returned with the
chili.
>>>
>>> Rather ate it all and said, "Now I can die content."
>>>
>>> Jesse Jackson said, "You know, the thing in this life I am
proudest of
>>> is my work on behalf of the poor and oppressed. So before I go, I
want
>>> to sing "We Shall Overcome" one last time."
>>>
>>> The chief said, "Go right ahead, we're listening." Jackson sang
the
>>> song, and then said, "Now I can die in peace."
>>>
>>> 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 someday someone will hear it and know that I was on the job
"til

>>>
>>> The chief directed an aide to hand over the tape recorder, and
Roberts
>>> dictated some comments. She then said, "Now I can die happy."
>>>
>>> The chief turned and said, "And now, Mr. Marine, what is your
final
>>> wish?"
>>>
>>> "Kick me in the ass," said the Marine.
>>>
>>> "What?" said the chief. "Will you mock us in your last hour?"
>>>
>>> "No, I'm not kidding. I want you to kick me in the ass," insisted
the
>>> Marine.
>>>
>>> So the chief shoved him into the open, and kicked him in the ass.
The
>>> Marine went sprawling, but rolled to his knees, pulled a 9mm pistol
>>> from his waistband, and shot the chief dead. In the resulting
>>> confusion, he grabbed his knapsack, pulled out his M4 carbine, and
>>> sprayed the cannibals with gunfire. In a flash, the cannibals were
>>> dead or fleeing for their lives.
>>>
>>> As the Marine was untying the others, they asked him, "Why didn't
you
>>> just shoot them? Why did you ask them to kick you in the ass?"
>>>
>>> "What!?" said the Marine, "And have you liberal assholes call ME
the
>>> aggressor?"
