I Do Lie A Lot

Many of you may not be aware of it, but when (host’s name) was in high school someone wrote an unsigned a letter to Notre Dame and told them (host’s name) was the best football player to come out of his home town in its history.

They flew him up for an interview and told him that they had gotten a letter saying that he was some football player. He said, “I don’t like to brag but I do alright.”

They said, “We hear that you can run pretty fast. Can you run the hundred in 10 seconds?” He said, “The last time I ran it I did it in 9.2 seconds.”

They replied, “That’s unreal. We also heard that you can kick a football pretty good.” He said, “To tell you the truth I can kick a football so hard that two times in the last three weeks I kicked a football so hard it just burst into pieces.”

The said, “That’s almost unbelievable.” “What else can you do?” (Host’s name) said, “I can throw the football 70 yards in the air with pin point accuracy. I can run the ball. I can tackle. I can block. There’s not anything that I can not do on a football team!”

Finally the coach said, “Wait a minute. There’s got to be a problem. I bet you’re stupid and you can’t make the grades necessary to stay on the team. If we give you a scholarship you’ll flunk out.” (Host name) said, “No, I’m a straight A student. I’ve been a straight A student since I was in kindergarten. I’ve never made anything but straight A’s on everything I’ve ever done.”

The coach finally said, “I just can’t believe it. Don’t you have at least one weakness? There’s bound to be at least one weakness in your life. Tell us what is your weakness.” He thought about it for a minute and finally said, “Well, I do lie a lot.”
