Detroit Lions Sign Afghani Quarterback-Joke
Edited on Thu Feb-26-04 11:24 AM by bif
The Afghani Quarterback

The coach had put together the perfect team for the Detroit Lions. The
> only thing that was missing was a good quarterback. He had scouted all
> the colleges and even the Canadian and European Leagues, but he couldn't
> find a ringer who could ensure a Super Bowl win.
>
Then one night while watching CNN he saw a war-zone scene in Afghanistan.
> In one corner of the background, he spotted a young Afghan Muslim soldier
> with a truly incredible arm. He threw a hand-grenade straight into a 15th
> story window 100 yards away.
>
KABOOM!
>
He threw another hand-grenade 75 yards away, right into a chimney.
>
KA-BLOOEY!
>
Then he threw another at a passing car going 90 mph
>
BULLS-EYE!
>
"I've got to get this guy!" Coach said to himself. "He has the perfect
> arm!"
>
So, he brings him to the States and teaches him the great game of
> football. And the Lions go on to win the Super Bowl. The young Afghan is
> hailed as the great hero of football, and when the coach asks him what he
> wants, all the young man wants is to call his mother.
>
"Mom," he says into the phone, "I just won the Super Bowl!"
>
> "I don't want to talk to you, the old Muslim woman says. "You deserted
> us. You are not my son!"
>
"I don't think you understand, Mother," the young man pleads. "I've won
> the greatest sporting event in the world. I'm here among thousands of my
> adoring fans."
>
>"No! Let me tell you!" his mother retorts. "At this very moment, there
> are gunshots all around us. The neighborhood is a pile of rubble. Your
> two brothers were beaten within an inch of their lives last week, and I
> have to keep your sister in the house so she doesn't get raped!" The old
> lady pauses, and then tearfully says, "I will never forgive you for
> making us move to Detroit!"
