The Israeli
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 the West Bank. In one corner of the background,
he spotted a young Israeli 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 man 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 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!!!!
