08/16/10 Grif.Net – Perfect Quarterback

The coach put together the perfect team for the Oakland Raiders. The only
thing missing was a good quarterback. He had scouted all the colleges, even
the Canadian and European Leagues, but he couldn’t find a QB that would
ensure a Super Bowl win.

Then one night while watching Fox News, the coach 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. The soldier 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!” the Coach said to himself. “He has the perfect
arm!”

He brought the soldier to the States and taught him the great game of
football and the Raiders went on to win the Super Bowl. The young Afghan
was hailed as a great football hero and when the coach asked him what he
wanted, the young man answered that he wanted to call his mother.

“Mom,” he said into the phone, “I just won the Super Bowl!”

“I don’t want to talk to you,” the old Muslim woman said. “You are not my
son!”

“I don’t think you understand, Mother,” the young man pleaded. “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 retorted. “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 attacked!”

The old lady paused, and then tearfully said, “I will never forgive you for
making us move to Oakland!”
