Tom Brady is... a Jehovah's Witness.



The scene begins with a sharply dressed Tom Brady, elequent in black slacks, white collared shirt, and tie, riding a bicycle. As he cruises the neighborhood for heathens, he spots a woman hastily retreating into her house to draw her curtains. Tom grabs his pamphlets and launches into action.

Tom: Excuse me! Madame! (slides arm into crack of doorway) If you have a moment, I’d like to take this opportunity to share with you a word about Jehovah…

Woman: What the fu… Aren’t you Tom Brady?

Tom: Uhh… yes ma’am. As I was saying, the Lord has a special plan for your life…

Woman: Randy! Hey, Randy! Get your ass over here! Tom Brady’s a J-Hoe and he’s come to our house!

Randy: (from somewhere in the house) Fuckin women talkin bout fuckin Tom Brady, I swear ta Gawd…

Woman: So, uh Tom, how bout an autograph?

Tom: I really don’t do that anymore. Last week I got convicted about all the cheating we did to win those championships, so I quit to make it right, and I’ve been trying to spread the good word ever since. It’s just so difficult with all the recognition.

Woman: You sure look cute in your bicycle helmet. Whatever happened with that Brazilian you were dating?

Tom: She uh… well, she left me. Said she didn’t date guys in cults. Look, if I could just leave a pamphlet with you…

Woman: Now hold on a minute, I ain’t done looking at you. I bet you get all hot and sweaty ridin’ round on that bike all day, huh? Probably need to take that shirt off…

Tom: God, here we go again… Ma’am, I’m just trying to spread the good word. I don’t play football anymore, I don’t date models, and I certainly don’t take my shirt off for women. I’d love to leave these pamphlets with you to read and just head out. I’ve got a lot of blocks to cover today.

Woman: Fine! Just get on your Huffy and get on down the road! We’re good God fearing Christians ‘round here, and we don’t celebrate no Jehovah or the Patriots anyway! (Slams the door)

Tom: (Sighs and looks skyward) God? Am I doing what you want? Will this be enough for my penance?

God: Hey Michael! Come check this out. Brady’s trying to talk to me again! Ha! That punk thinks I’ve forgotten he beat the Colt’s a couple weeks ago. Call up Satan and tell him I got three to one odds the next house he stops at sicks their dog on him!

(If you have ideas for Tom’s next misadventure away from football, post a comment. So far, Tom’s thinking of donating plasma or working as a nursing home orderly.)

Whiny inmate

I worked at a prison as a corrections officer (prison guard) and there was a particular inmate there who always complained about everything. For three months I endured his rants on how the lights were too bright, the rooms too hot, the blankets too scratchy, and so on. Obviously this is prison and no one gets luxury accommodations. I reached the end of my rope one morning... Read More » when I had to go down the run and wake him up at 7 AM for transport somewhere else in the state for a medical procedure. The guy is all grumpy, complaining about how I'm getting him up at the "ass crack of dawn." He demanded to be allowed time to take a shower, heat and drink some coffee and have a smoke. The van taking him away was already waiting for him and I knew for a fact that he'd taken a shower before going to bed the night before. I told him there wasn't time for any of that, he just had to get dressed and get to the van. He begins swearing and ranting about how inhumanely we were treating him and after months of his complaints I couldn't hold it in anymore. "I know, it sucks how early you have to get up to get your free medical care, huh?" I told him. He was immediately silent . He got dressed and left in a huff. I later found out how he wrote a grievance to the warden about my comment. Inmate complaints are occasionally reason for worry, so I was nervous when the warden called me in to his office. It turned out he just thought my comment was hilarious and told me to keep up the good work.
