Texan

Back Next

Off in Afghanistan, the group of Taliban soldiers moves down a road when a voice is heard calling from the rocks,

"One Texan is better than ten Taliban."

Amidst considerable laughing and scoffing, the Taliban commander quickly sends ten men over to the spot. After a considerable disturbance, however, none return.

The voice then calls out,

"One Texan is better than twenty Taliban."

Furious, the Taliban commander sends his best twenty troops over to the spot. A huge disturbance commences, after which again silence.

"One Texan is better than one hundred Taliban."

The enraged Taliban commander assembles one hundred fighters and sends them across. A major battle follows, then silence.

Eventually one badly beaten Taliban fighter crawls across the rocks and returns to his own line.

"Don't send any more men, its a trap," he tells his commander.

"There are really two of them ..."
