The Quarterback

Team owner Jeffery Lurie had put together the perfect team for the Philadelphia Eagles.
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 ringer who could ensure a Super Bowl victory.
One night while watching Fox News, he saw a war-zone scene in Afghanistan.
In one corner of the background, he spotted a young Afghani soldier with a truly incredible arm. He threw a handgernade straight into a window from 80 yards away. Then he threw another from 50 yards down a chimney, and finally hit a passing car going 80 miles per hour.
"I've got to get this guy!" Lurie said to himself "He has the perfect arm!"
He brings the young Afghan to the States and teaches him the great game of football...sure enough the Eagles go on to win the Super Bowl.
The young Afghan is hailed as a hero of football, and when the coach asks him what he wants, all the young man wants to do is 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 Muslim woman say. "You deserted us. You are not my son."
"Mother, I don't think you understand," pleads the son,"I've just won the greatest sporting event in the world!"
"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 I have to keep your sister in the house so she doesn't get raped!"
The old lady pauses then-tearfully-says,

"I will NEVER forgive you for making us move to Philadelphia!"

Sooooooo in other words, they would be safer in Afghanistan! I hardly think so, but then again, we only hear what the media wants us to hear. Very Happy

Doesn't say much for Philadelphia though does it?

I think that Philadelphia has more gun control laws than the Afgans do. Very Happy

Gun free zones you know. Very Happy
