Besides, no one knows how to properly cook a marine).  ;-)

I would say that whatever recipe was used it had better be done by at least
7 or 8 very strong fellows.

I'm reminded of a funny story.  It seems that Paddy was watching the news
about the war on terror and decided to take things into his own hands.  He
calls up Saddam and says, "I'm sorry to tell you this Saddam but I'm fed up
with all your funny business.  Me and the boys at the Pub are declaring a
war on you and your fellow stinkers - so what do you think of that?"  Saddam
pauses and replies, "Well, I must tell you that I have over a million men
under arms what do YOU think of that?"  Pat thinks about this for a while
and says, Let me call you back."  He talks to his friends and goes back to
the pay phone and dials up Saddam, "Look here I've spoken to the boys in the
Dart club and they and the ladies pool players are throwing in with us.  In
addition my brother is bringing the guns from the hunting club and we will
be driving down to Iraq tonight."  Saddam chuckles and replies, "Pat, I've
added another 2 million troops since the last time you called and I have to
tell you I have 50,000 tanks vrs your 6 or 7 trucks.  What do you think of
that?"  Pat scratches his head and say, "Let me call you back."  He gets on
the phone and calls a few friends.  With new determination he calls Saddam.
"Here now Saddam I've spoken to Tim and he said we can mount a shotgun on
his ultralight!  What do you think of that?"  Saddam sighs and scratches his
head and replies, "Do you know that since I last spoke to you I now have
over six million men at arms and have 20,000 aircraft at my disposal vrs
your single Ultralight?!"  Pat scratches his head and asks, "Did you say 6
Million men?"  Saddam quickly replied "Yes you fool - six million men armed
to the teeth!!"  Pat then asked Saddam to wait as he conferred with his
friends.  Sadly he picked up the phone and said "Well Saddam I guess the War
is off.  We don't have enough room for 6 million prisoners!"
