    Be careful what you ask for . . .

    Two things Navy SEALS are always taught:

    1. Keep your priorities in order
    2. Know when to act without hesitation

    A college professor, an avowed atheist and active in the ACLU, was teaching his class. He shocked several of his students when he flatly stated that once and for all he was going to prove 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 exactly 15 minutes!!!!!"

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

    " I'm waiting God, if you're real knock me off this platform!!!!"

    Again after 4 minutes, the professor taunted God saying, "Here I am, God!!! I'm still waiting!!!"

    His count down got down to the last couple of minutes when a SEAL, just released from the Navy after serving in Afghanistan and Iraq and newly registered in the class, walked up to the Professor.

    The SEAL hit him full force in the face, and sent the Professor tumbling from his lofty platform. The Professor was out cold!! The students were stunned and shocked. They began to babble in confusion. The SEAL nonchalantly took his seat in the front row and sat silent. The class looked at him and fell silent.....waiting.

    Eventually, the professor came to and was noticeably shaken. He looked at the SEAL in the front row. When the professor regained his senses and could speak he asked: "What the hell is the matter with you?! Why did you do that!?"

    "God was really busy protecting America's soldiers, who are protecting your right to say stupid **** and act like an asshole!!! So he sent me!!"

    Right on, Otto. He was surely watching over me during my 7 years in the war games during the 60s and 70s.
