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 CNN, 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 hand-grenade 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 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 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 !"

This joke rmakes me wonder why the US will rush to foreign violent communities under assumption that the citizens are victims and do not have the means to fight back or survive.....yet the US doesn't offer similar explanations or assistance for violent US communities......

reminds me of Farenheit 911 when Moore is interviewing a few teenagers about footage from the Iraq war and one of the boys said 'ish, I was thinking there are parts of Flint, MI that look like that'
