[nilesfunnies] Fw: Quarter Back

The Coach had put together the perfect team for the Oakland Raiders. The
only thing that was missing was a good quarterback. He had scouted all the
colleges, and even the high schools, but he couldn't find a ringer
quarterback 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 Northern
Alliance soldier with a truly incredible arm. He threw a hand grenade
straight into a 3rd-story window 200 yards away, KA-boom! He threw another
hand grenade into a group of 10 soldiers 100 yards away, KA-blooey! Then a
car passed, 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 Raiders go on to win the Super Bowl.

The young Afghani is hailed as the Great Hero of football, and when Coach
asks him what he wants, all the young man wants to do 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 deserted us. You are not my
son."

"I don't think you understand, Mother!" the young man pleads. "I just 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 this
week your sister was assaulted in broad daylight." At that point, the old
lady pauses, and then tearfully says, "I'll never forgive you for making
us move to Oakland."
