With the Super Bowl tomorrow, and the fatal shooting near Ford Field last night, I thought I'd bring this one back...


The coach had put together the perfect team for the Detroit Lions. 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

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 window from 80 yards away. Then he threw another from 50
yards down a chimney, and then hit a passing car going 80 miles per hour.

"I've got to get this guy!" coach said to himself." He has the perfect arm"!

So, he brings the young Afghan to the States and teaches him the great
game of football ....... and sure enough the Lions 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 says. "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 Detroit...."

Once again Chuck has me in stitches. Sadly, I get the feeling there's a lot of truth to that! I've known a couple people here in Roch who hail from the motor city, and I gotta say they're not folks I'd wanna p*ss off....

Nice Chuck

As a native Detroiter myself I can laugh about this too...
