Quoted message said:The New Orleans coach had put together the perfect team for the Saints.
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 someone who could ensure a Super Bowl win.Then 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.
KABOOM! He threw another hand-grenade 75 yards away, 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!" Coach said to himself. "He has the
perfect arm!" So, he brings him to the United States and teaches him
the great game of football. And the Saints go on to win the Super
Bowl. The 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. "Mom," he says into the phone, "I just won the
Super Bowl!""I don't want to talk to you," the old Muslim woman says. "You
deserted us. You are not my son!" "I don't think you understand,
Mother," the young man 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.
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, and then tearfully says, "I will never
forgive you for making us move to New Orleans!"Regards,
