BUREAUCRATIC FOOTBALL: After you score, a tax of 80% will be imposed on the points. 10% of your points will be given to the scoring disadvantaged, 10% of the points will be given to the opposing team as an incentive "not to score," while 60% of the points will be used by the state for administration.
CAPITALIST FOOTBALL: The Super Bowl -- Winner Take All
Three fans were talking about the sad state of their local team.
The first fan said, "I blame the general manager; if we could sign better players, we'd have a great team."
The second fan said, "I blame the players; if they made more effort, I'm sure we would score more touchdowns."
The third fan said, "I blame my parents; if I had been born in a different town, I'd be rootng for a decent team."
Hours after the end of the world, a border dispute emerged between heaven and hell. God invited the devil for a conversation to find a way to resolve this dispute quickly. Satan, the devil, proposed a soccer game between heaven and hell.

Snow White was returning from town to the cottage in the forest where she lived with the seven dwarfs. In the distance she could see smoke, then as she got nearer she realized that their cottage had burnt down.
Frantically, Snow White searched the forest for the dwarfs. She finally heard a lone voice crying out, "The Dallas Cowboys will win teh Super Bowl this year."
On hearing this, Snow White gave a little sigh of relief as she knew that at least Dopey was safe.

How do I know?
President Obama told me so!
LOL, love the Cowboys one... sigh I can remember when they WERE winners (Pre-Jerry)...
Toejam - bread and circuses...
NFO - I remember all the way back to the Eddie LeBaron/Don Meredith quarterback controversy. Of course, I was VERY young back then... :-)
The 'Boys will never be winners again as ling as Jerry runs the team.
