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&#8217;t find a ringer who could ensure a Super Bowl win. <\/p>\n<p>\tThen 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.<\/p>\n<p>\tKABOOM!<\/p>\n<p>\tHe threw another hand-grenade 75 yards away, right into a chimney.<\/p>\n<p>\tKA-BLOOEY!<\/p>\n<p>\tThen he threw another at a passing car going 90 mph.<\/p>\n<p>\tBULLS-EYE!<\/p>\n<p>\t&quot;I&#8217;ve got to get this guy!&quot; Coach said to himself. &quot;He has the perfect arm!&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\tSo, he brings him to the States and teaches him the great game of football. And the Bears go on to win the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n<p>\tThe 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.<\/p>\n<p>\t&quot;Mom,&quot; he says into the phone, &quot;I just won the Super Bowl!&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\t&quot;I don&#8217;t want to talk to you, the old Muslim woman says.&quot;You are not my son!&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\t&quot;I don&#8217;t think you understand, Mother,&quot; the young man pleads. &quot;I&#8217;ve won the greatest sporting event in the world. I&#8217;m here among thousands of my adoring fans.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\t&quot;No! Let me tell you!&quot; his mother retorts. &quot;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&#8217;t get raped!&quot; The old lady pauses, and then tearfully says,<\/p>\n<p>\t&quot;I will never forgive you for making us move to Chicago !!!!<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Replies:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> sevenout on December 10, 2012, 3:04 am<\/p>\n<div>\ud83d\ude06  \ud83d\ude06<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> ACPA on December 10, 2012, 4:19 am<\/p>\n<div>Did he move into the same neighborhood that Obama lived in?<\/p>\n<p>\tNoah<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Dr Crapology on December 10, 2012, 1:08 pm<\/p>\n<div>You had me going for a while as I did not see the punch line coming.
