Freshman

The huge college freshman figured he’d 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 rolled his eyes, hesitated for a

few seconds. “Well, sir,” he said, “if I can

swallow it, I can probably pass it.”
