The Muslim QB

Random I know, but hey if you can't laugh you can't live life...

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 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!"
