Chapter 473

Taliban versus Newfies

A large group of Taliban soldiers in Afghanistan are moving down a road when they hear a voice call from behind a sand dune:

"One Newfoundlander soldier is better than ten Taliban."

The Taliban commander quickly orders 10 of his best men over the dune where a gun-battle breaks out and continues for a few minutes, then silence.

The voice once again calls out: "One Newfoundlander is better than one hundred Taliban."

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

The Newfoundlander calls out again: "One Newfoundlander is better than one thousand Taliban."

The enraged Taliban commander musters 1000 fighters and sends them to the other side of the dune. Rifle fire, machine guns, grenades, rockets and Cannon fire ring out as a terrible battle is fought ... then silence. Eventually one badly wounded Taliban fighter crawls back over the dune and with his dying words tells his commander...

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