Funny

[Kirk Reiser]

Andy Reid had put together the perfect Eagles team, missing only a stud
quarterback. He had scouted all the colleges, even the Canadian and
European leagues, but he couldn't find a ringer to guarantee a Super Bowl
win.

One night he was watching a war-zone scene in Iraq on TV. In the
background of one shot, he saw a young Iraqi soldier with a truly
incredible arm. He threw a hand grenade straight into a 15th story window
100 yards away. KABOOM!

He threw another grenade 75 yards, pitching it right into a chimney.
KA-BLOOEY!

Then he threw another into a car passing at 90 mph. BULL'S-EYE!

"I've got to get this guy!" Reid shouted. "He's got the perfect arm!"

He finds him and brings him to the States and teaches him the great game
of football. The Eagles go on to win the Super Bowl.

The young Iraqi is hailed as a great hero, and when Reid asks him what he
wants, he says he wants 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 snaps. "You deserted us. You
are not my son!"

"You don't understand, Mother," the QB 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. The
elections are a joke, 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 mugged!"

The old lady pauses, then tearfully adds,
"I will never forgive you for making us move to Philadelphia!"
