~Afghanistan Football Player:~ (Plus: today in history, word for the day, todays horoscope, Maxine and They Ask Why I Like Retirement !!!)

The coach had put together the perfect team for the Detroit Lions. The only thing that was missing was a good quarterback. 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 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 brought  him to the States and taught him the great game of football. And the Lions go on to win the Super Bowl. The young Afghan is hailed as the great hero of football, and when the coach asked him what he wanted, all the young man wanted was to call his mother. "Mom," he said into the phone, "I just won the Super Bowl!" "I don't want to talk to you," the old Muslim woman said. "You deserted us. You are no longer my son!" "I don't think you understand, Mother," the young man pleaded. "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 retorted. "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 said, "I will never forgive you for making us move to Detroit!"

They Ask Why I Like Retirement!!! From Phyllis in Pasadena CA

I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape, so I got my doctor's permission to join a fitness club and start exercising. I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors.

I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. But, by the time I got my leotards on, the class was over.
