Dan Rather, Peter Jennings, Cokie Roberts, and a tough old U.S. Marine Sergeant were all captured by terrorists in Iraq. The leader of the terrorists told them that he would grant them each one last request before they were beheaded.
Dan Rather said, "Well, I'm a Texan; so I'd like one last bowl full 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."
Peter Jennings said, "I am Canadian, so I'd like to hear the song "O Canada" one last time."
The leader nodded to a terrorist who had studied the Western world and knew the music. He returned with some rag-tag Musicians and played the anthem. 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 someday 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 ass," 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 ass," insisted the Marine. So the leader shoved him into the open, and kicked him in the ass.
The Marine went sprawling, but rolled to his knees, pulled a 9 mm pistol from inside his cammies, and shot the leader dead.
In the resulting confusion, he leapt to his knapsack, pulled out his M4 carbine and sprayed the Iraqis with gunfire. In a flash, all the Iraqis were either 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 in the beginning? Why did you ask them to kick you in the ass first?"
"What," replied the Marine, "and have you three Assholes report that I was the aggressor.

This hasn't popped up on snopes yet, so it may be true (?). Yikes!
You can't make up stuff better than this!
Ain't politics grand?
Jesse Jackson's Newest Staff Member

Mel Reynolds
Jesse Jackson has added former Chicago Democrat Congressman Mel Reynolds to Rainbow/PUSH Coalition's payroll. Reynolds was among the 176 criminals excused in President Clinton's last-minute forgiveness spree. Reynolds received a commutation of his six-and-a-half-year federal sentence for 15 convictions of wire fraud, bank fraud, and lies to the Federal Election Commission. He is more notorious, however, for concurrently serving five years for sleeping with an underage campaign volunteer.
This is a first in American politics: An ex-congressman who had sex with a subordinate...won clemency from a president who had sex with a subordinate...then was hired by a clergyman who had sex with a subordinate!
His new job?
Ready for this??

Subject: The $2 Bill. Everyone should start carrying them!_
I am STILL laughing!!
I think we need to quit saving our $2 bills and bring them out in public. The younger generation doesn't know they exist.
STORY:
On my way home from work, I stopped at Taco Bell for a quick bite to eat. In my billfold are a $50 bill and a $2 bill. I figure that with a $2 bill, I can get something to eat and not have to worry about anyone getting irritated at me for trying to break a $50 bill.
Me: "Hi, I'd like one seven-layer burrito please, to go"
Server: "That'll be $1.04. Eat in?"
Me: "No, it's to go." At this point, I open my billfold and hand him the $2 bill. He looks at it kind of funny.
Server: "Uh, hang on a sec, I'll be right back."
He goes to talk to his manager, who is still within my earshot. The following conversation occurs between the two of them:
Server: "Hey, you ever see a $2 bill?"
Manager: "No. A what?"
Server: "A $2 bill. This guy just gave it to me."
Manager: "Ask for something else. There's no such thing as a $2 bill."
Server: "Yeah, thought so."
He comes back to me and says, "We don't take these. Do you have anything else?"
Me:
"Just this fifty. You don't take $2 bills? Why?"
Server: "I don't know."
Me: "See here where it says legal tender?"
Server: "Yeah."
Me: "So, why won't you take it?"
Server: "Well, hang on a sec."
He goes back to his manager, who has been watching me like I'm a shoplifter, and says to him, "He says I have to take it."
Manager: "Doesn't he have anything else?"
Server: "Yeah, a fifty. I'll get it and you can open the safe and get change "
Manager: "I'm not opening the safe with him in here."
Server: "What should I do?"
Manager: "Tell him to come back later when he has real money."
Server: "I can't tell him that! You tell him."
Manager: "Just tell him."
Server: "No way! This is weird. I'm going in back."
The manager approaches me and says, "I'm sorry, but we don't take big bills this time of night."
Me: "It's only seven o'clock! Well then, here's a two dollar bill."
Manager: "We don't take those, either."
Me: "Why not?"
Manager: "I think you know why."
Me: "No really, tell me why."
Manager: "Please leave before I call mall security."
Me: "Excuse me?"
Manager: "Please leave before I call mall security."
Me: "What on earth for?"
Manager: "Please, sir."
Me: "Uh, go ahead, call them."
Manager: "Would you please just leave?"
Me: "No."
Manager: "Fine -- have it your way then."
Me: "Hey, that's Burger King, isn't it?"
At this point, he backs away from me and calls mall security on the phone around the corner. I have two people staring at me from the dining area, and I begin laughing out loud, just for effect. A few minutes later this 45-year-oldish guy Comes in.
Guard: "Yeah, Mike, what's up?"
Manager (whispering): "This guy is trying to give me some (pause) funny money."
Guard: "No kidding! What?"
Manager: "Get this A two dollar bill."
Guard (incredulous): "Why would a guy fake a two dollar bill?"
Manager: "I don't know. He's kinda weird. He says the only other thing he has is a fifty."
Guard: "Oh, so the fifty's fake!"
Manager: "No, the two dollar bill is."
Guard: "Why would he fake a two dollar bill?"
Manager: "I don't know! Can you talk to him, and get him out of here?"
Guard: "Yeah."
Security Guard walks over to me and......
Guard: "Mike here tells me you have some fake bills you're trying to use."
Me: "Uh, no."
Guard: "Lemme see 'em."
Me: "Why?"
Guard: "Do you want me to get the cops in here?"
At this point I am ready to say, "Sure, please!" but I want to eat, so I say "I'm just trying to buy a burrito and pay for it with this two dollar bill.
I put the bill up near his face, and he flinches like I'm taking a swing at him. He takes the bill, turns it over a few times in his hands, and says, "Hey, Mike, what's wrong with this bill?"
Manager: "It's fake."
Guard: "It doesn't look fake to me."
Manager: "But it's a two dollar bill."
Guard: "Yeah?"
Manager: "Well, there's no such thing, is there?"
The security guard and I both look at him like he's an idiot, and it dawns on the guy that he has no clue.
So, it turns out that my burrito was free, and he threw in a small drink and some of those cinnamon thingies, too.
Made me want to get a whole stack of two dollar bills just to see what happens when I try to buy stuff. If I got the right group of people, I could probably end up in jail. You get free food there, too.

825. (Ed Note: Can't believe this is still running around after all these years. At least the one who sent it to me had the sense to go to Snopes and check it out,)
Subject: Please Read!!!!!!!!!!it was on the news! ASAP
This "information" just arrived in my email box.
I thought I would forward this hoax that is roaming the net and is NOT true...... remember to check out everything you receive in the email! This one appears to be believable because it comes with a phone number! I use snopes.com.
Check out the below..... http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/nothing/microsoft-aol.asp
Love and happy holidays, Jxxx :)
----------------------------------------------
Take a look at this and forward it. I did some research and talked to a guy
at Microsoft that I used to work with and he admitted this is happening. You
have nothing to lose. This was on the 9:00 o'clock news the other night and
this works. ALSO, THIS TOOK UP TWO PAGES OF THE TUESDAY USA TODAY - IT IS
FOR REAL. Rest assured AOL and Intel will follow through with their promises
for fear of facing a multimillion-dollar class action suit similar to the
one filed by PepsiCo against General Electric not too long ago.
This is how it reads
Dear Friends,
Please do not take this for a junk letter. Bill Gates is sharing his
fortune as many of you may have heard. If you ignore this, you'll probably
regret it later. Microsoft and AOL are now the largest Internet companies
and in an effort to make sure that Internet Explorer remains the most widely
used program, Microsoft and AOL are running an e-mail beta test. When you
forward this e-mail to friends, Microsoft can and will track it (if you are
a Microsoft Windows user) for a two weeks time period.
For every person that you forward this e-mail to, Microsoft will pay
you $245.00. For every person that you sent it to that forwards it on,
Microsoft will pay you $243.00 and for every third person that receives it,
you will be paid $241.00. Within two weeks, Microsoft will contact you for
your address and then send you a check.

RNX 292-1085 Charles_Bailey@csx.com
I thought this was a scam as well, but two weeks after receiving
this e-mail and forwarding it on, Microsoft contacted me for my address and
within days, I receive a check for $24,800.00. You need to respond before
the beta testing is over. If anyone can afford this, Bill Gates is the man.
Remember, it's all marketing expense to him.
Please forward this to as many people as possible. You are bound to get at
least $10,000.00. We're not going to help them out with their e-mail beta
test without getting a little something for our time. My brother's wife got
in on this a few months ago. When I went to visit him recently, she showed
me her check. It was for the sum of $4,324.44 and was stamped "Paid in
Full."
Like I said before, I know enough about the law, and this is for
real. Intel and AOL are now discussing a merger which would make them the
largest Internet company. In an effort to make sure that AOL remains the
most widely used program, Intel and AOL are running an e-mail beta test.
When you forward this e-mail to friends, Intel can and will track it (if you
are a Microsoft Windows user) for a two week time period.
Try it....... what have you got to lose?
Give it a try ..........I just don't want to miss an opportunity if
it is true and I think it is based on what I've found out.
