The

all

night

with

window

>

> BLAM!

>

> 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

> So, he brings him the States and teaches him the great game of

> The young Afghan is hailed as the great hero of football, and when

the

>

> "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

>

> "I don't think you understand, Mother, " the young man pleads. "I've

won

my

> adoring fans."

>

> "No! Let me tell you!" his mother retorts. "At this very moment,

there

Your

I

old
