| | | The Jewish quarterback
The coach had put together the perfect team for the Baltimore Ravens. The only thing missing was a good quarterback. He had scouted all the colleges and even the Canadian and European leagues, but he couldn't find a player who could ensure a Super Bowl win.
Then one night, while watching CNN, he saw a war-zone scene in Gaza . In one corner of the background, he spotted a young Israeli soldier with a truly incredible arm.
He watched him throw a hand grenade straight into a 15th story window 100 yards away.
KABOOM! He threw another hand grenade from 75 yards 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!" the 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 Ravens 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 would like as a special reward, all the young man asks for 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, mom," the young man pleads. "I've won one of the greatest sporting events in the world. I'm here among thousands of cheering fans!"
"Never mind all that! Let me tell you something!" his mother retorts. "At this very moment, there are guns being fired all around us. The neighborhood is a pile of rubble. Your two brothers were beaten to
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 Baltimore!” |
