The huge college freshman decided to try out for
the football team. ―Can you tackle?‖ asked the
coach. ―Watch this,‖ said the freshman, who
proceeded to run smack into a telephone pole,
shattering it to splinters. ―Wow,‖ said the Coach.
―I’m impressed. Can you run?‖ ―Of course I can
run,‖ said the freshman. He was off like a shot,
and, in just over nine seconds, he had run a
hundred yard dash. ―Great?‖ enthused the
Coach. ―But can you pass a football?‖ The
freshman hesitated for a few seconds. ―Well,
sir,‖ he said. ―If I can swallow it, I can probably
pass it.‖ laughfactory.com

Two elderly sisters donated $5 to a charity and, to
their surprise, won tickets to a football game.
Since they had never seen a live football game
before, Madge thought the free tickets would provide an excellent opportunity for doing so. ―I think
so too,‖ said Mabel. ―Let’s go!‖ They soon found
themselves high in a noisy stadium overlooking a
large, grassy expanse. They watched the kickoff
and the seemingly endless back-and-forth struggles that comprised the scoreless first half. They
enjoyed the band music and cheerleader performance that followed. Then came the second half.
When the teams lined up for the second-half kickoff, Madge nudged her sister. ―I guess we can go
home now Mabel,‖ she said. ―This is where we
came in.‖ laughfactory.com
