he coach had put together the perfect team for the Cleveland Browns. 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 =ar-zone scene in Afghanistan. =n 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 =way.
KABOOM!
He threw another hand-grenade 75 yards =way, right into a chimney.
KA-BLOOEY!
Then he threw another at a passing car going 100 =ph.
BULLS-EYE!
"I've got to get this guy!" coach =aid to himself. "He has the perfect arm!"
So, he brings him to the States and teaches him the great game of football. =nd the Browns go on to win the Super Bowl (note: Clearly this is a football dream).
The young Afghan is hailed as the great hero =f football, and when the coach asks him what he wants, all the =oung man wants is to call his mother.
"Mom," he says into =he phone, "I just won the Super Bowl!"
"I don't want to =alk to you," the old Muslim woman says. "You are not my =on!"
"I don't think you understand, Mother," the young =an pleads. "I've won the greatest sporting event in the world. I'm =ere among thousands of my adoring fans."
"No! Let me tell =ou!" his mother retorts. "At this very moment, there are gunshots =ll around us. The neighborhood is a pile of rubble. Your two =rothers were beaten within an inch of their lives last week, and = have to keep your sister in the house so she doesn't get raped!" The =ld lady pauses, and then tearfully says,
"I will never =orgive you for making us move to Cleveland!" =/DIV>
