Afghan Quarterback

The Afghan Quarterback

 

The coach had put together the perfect team for the Chicago

Bears. 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, teaches him the great game of

football and the Bears 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, says the old Muslim woman."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 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 Chicago !!!!
