The Detroit Red Wing's scout recruits a young Iraqi. The Red Wings sign him to a one year contract and the kid joins the team for the preseason.
Two weeks later the Wings are down 4-0 to the Leafs with only 10 minutes left. The coach gives the young Iraqi the nod and he goes in.
The kid is a sensation - scores 5 goals in 10 minutes and wins the game for the Wings!
When he comes off the ice he phones his mom to tell her about his first day of NHL hockey.
"Hello mom, guess what?" he says. "I played for 10 minutes today, we were 4-0 down, but I scored 5 goals and we won. Everybody loves me, the fans, the media, they all love me."
"Wonderful," says his mom, "Let me tell you about my day."
"Your father got shot in the street and robbed, your sister and I were ambushed, raped and beaten and your brother has joined a gang of looters.....all while you were having such great time."
The young Iraqi is very upset.
"What can I say, mom? I'm so sorry."
"Sorry? You're Sorry?" says his mom. "It's because of you we moved to Detroit in the first place!”

Hysterical! One simply does not expect that to be the punchline.
You are absolved.
Glad you enjoyed.
It's a touchy world....
