I'll Let Other People Be Funny
Posted by Frank J. at 07:02 AM | View blog reactions | Comments (23)

Reader Tom Burns sent this joke in and I thought it was pretty good so I'd share:

"A War In Iraq"

A large group of Iraqi soldiers are moving down
a road when they hear a voice call from behind
a sand dune. "One United States Marine is better
than ten Iraqis!"

The Iraqi commander quickly sends 10 of his best
soldiers over the dune, whereupon a gun battle
breaks and continues for a few minutes, then silence.

The voice then calls out,"One United States Marine is
better than one hundred Iraqis!"

Furious, the Iraqi commander sends his next best 100
troops over the dune and instantly a huge fire fight
commences. After 10 minutes of battle, again silence.

The American voice calls out again, "One United States
Marine is better than one thousand Iraqis!"

The enraged Iraqi Commander musters one thousand
fighters and sends them across the dune. Cannons,
rockets and machine guns ring out as a huge battle is
fought. Then silence, eventually one wounded Iraqi
fighter crawls back over the dune and with his dying
words tells his commander,

"Don't send any more men, it's a trap. There's two
of them!"

A classic.

OOH-RAH

The version I've heard before featured Scotsmen whaling on the English. Notable for the opportunity to do a Scottish accent.

#5 - Posted by: PeterB on December 17, 2003 12:08 PM

Enjoying this joke requires suspension of disbelief.

You have to accept the premise that there are 1,110 iraqi soldiers.

#6 - Posted by: IkkonoIshi on December 17, 2003 12:57 PM

I first heard it about the Japanese in WWII, lol.

Semper Fi!

Sherman in Georgia and an old Confederate n top of Stone Mountain.

#8 - Posted by: TheYeti on December 17, 2003 04:29 PM

That one's got a beard. I first heard it as a Brit patrol and a pair of Scots.

"Send oop y'er best mon!"

#9 - Posted by: mojo on December 17, 2003 11:38 PM

I heard a joke like this before only it took place during the Six Day War and had Israelis whupping Egyptians.

#10 - Posted by: Tex on December 18, 2003 01:25 AM

Can we repackage this one in time for next November -- "One George W. Bush is worth nine Democratic presidential hopefuls...."

#11 - Posted by: R.W. on December 18, 2003 01:59 AM

From the sounds of it, I'm sure the original version was about Romans and Carthiginians.

#12 - Posted by: Frank J. on December 18, 2003 08:17 AM

Nah, likely the original was Neanderthals vs Bears

#13 - Posted by: Anonymouse on December 18, 2003 10:06 AM

amoebae vs protazoa

#14 - Posted by: Arnold on December 18, 2003 02:00 PM

matter vs. anti-matter

#15 - Posted by: Frank J. on December 18, 2003 05:25 PM

My original version was the Taliban and US Special Forces.

#16 - Posted by: Lu Baihu on December 28, 2003 11:00 PM

#17 - Posted by: mam on December 31, 2003 09:02 PM
