I heard a good one today...
A Football scout is with a group of Marines, and observes an Iraq youth who has an incredible arm...From 80 feet away he throws a grenade through a 7th story window. Later, he sees a car racing by at 90 mph, and throws a grenade through the windshield.
The scout approaches the young man, and says..."Come to America, we will teach you to play football, and you will make a lot of money." The young man agrees, and is soon signed up to a major league team, and the team wins game after game...due to his throwing arm. They enter the Super Bowl...and in a very close game...they win, and he is awarded Player of the Year.
He is excited, and calls his Mother to tell her the good news...
She is very curt, and says..."I have no Son." He says, "Mother, do you realize what I have done? I have won the most respected sporting event on the planet!"
She replies..."Do you have any idea of how we are living here? Two of your brothers were beaten almost to death last week, and I keep your sister in the house all day so she won't be taken and raped..."
She says..."I will never forgive you for moving us to Chicago..."
