"To those people who think we went into Iraq for oil, nah, that's thinking too little. We're Americans, we think big. The oil isn't one fraction of the money we're going to fu** you out of when we open WalMarts over there! Achmed is gonna be wearing a turban with a Nike swoosh!

I've got to catch more of his act, but I really miss Sam Kinison.

I remember when I was invited to a cookout while I was stationed in Germany. As usual, I was the only white guy there (my ADA unit was 2/3 black, and my S-4 section was 3/4 black). I was invited to try a plate of chitlins, and I think the NCO's wife was a bit surprised that I ate the entire portion.

About an hour later (and after several beers), she asked me how I liked the chitlins. I replied, "they were great, but for some reason, I really feel like dancing now." Everybody busted out laughing (I've always been known for quick, and un-PC witticisms, plus I'd been in the same battalion for over 3 years).

Nowadays, I wonder how that remark would have been treated. Back then, the only color that I knew was "olive drab". I really miss being part of an organization where you looked out for your buddy's back.

LOL!

Great line, and thanks for your service.

We all would be better of if PC was utterly destroyed...it allows us to have a sense of humor.

BTW, ditto on the Sam Kinison...G_d do I miss him, I can only imagine the stuff he'd be saying now!
