Send in the Marines.

A college professor, an avowed athiest, was teaching his class.

He shocked his students when he flatly stated that he was going to prove that there was no God.

Addressing the ceiling, he shouted, "God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you 15 minutes".

The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin fall. Ten minutes went by.

Again he taunted God saying, "Here I am God, ... I'm still waiting".

His countdown got down to the last couple of minutes when a Marine, just released from active duty and newly registered in the class, walked up to the professor, hit him full in the face, and sent him tumbling off his platform.

The professor was out cold. At first, the students were shocked and babbled in confusion. The young Marine resumed his seat in the front row and sat there silently.

Eventually, the professor came to, looked at the young Marine and, after regaining his senses and could speak, he said to the Marine, "What's the matter with you?, why did you do that?".

The Marine replied, "God was busy so he sent the Marines".

Rick.
