New Orleans Saints Forums - blackandgold.com - JOKE: Saints win the Super Bowl

Someone emailed me this joke, thought I'd share it:

After an eternity of bad seasons, the Saints FINALLY put together a winning team. The only thing missing from the lineup was a top notch quarterback to lead them to the playoffs.

Then, one night while watching CNN, head coach Jim Haslett saw a war-zone scene in Afghanistan, beamed live by satellite. In one corner of the battleground, he spotted a young Afghan soldier with an incredible arm.

The kid 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 ninety miles an hour. BULLS-EYE!

"I've GOT to get this guy!" Haslett said to himself. "He's got the perfect arm to be an NFL quarterback!"

He travels to Afghanistan, finds the young man, brings him to the States, and teaches him the great game of professional football.

And miracle of miracles, the Saints win the Super Bowl on the strength of the young man's abilities!

The young Afghan is hailed as a great hero of football, and when the coach asks him what he wants, all the young man requests is to call his mother.

"Mom" he says excitedly 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 just won the greatest sporting event in the world. I'm here among thousands of my adoring American fans!"

"No! Let me tell YOU!" his mother retorts, "At this very moment, there are roving gangs of thieves all around us. This neighborhood is a pile of rubble and trash, with drive-by shootings every day. Your two brothers were beaten within an inch of their lives last week, and I have to keep your sister inside the house so she doesn't get raped!"

His besieged mother pauses for a moment then tearfully cries,

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