Welp, here we are at the end of another football season already. It’s been an eventful year and it sure would be nice to git some teams in the postseason.

Ennywho, three of my neighbors applied fer the same detective job this past week and told me about their interviews. One of my friends was Jewish, one was Italian, and the other was a former Michigan football player.

The chief detective called them in one at a time and asked each one the same question to hear their response.

The Jewish man went in and the chief asked, “Who killed Jesus Christ?”

The Jewish man answered without hesitation, “The Romans killed him.”

The chief thanked him and called in the Italian man next.

“Who killed Jesus Christ?” the chief as the Italian man.

“Jesus was killed by Herod’s soldiers,” said the Italian man.

Again the chief thanked the man and called for the former Michigan player.

“Who killed Jesus Christ?” the chief asked the ex-Wolverine.

The former Michigan player thought for a few minutes and then asked, “Could I have some time to think about it?”

The chief said, “OK, but get back to me tomorrow.”

The ex-Michigan player went home and his wife asked him, “How did the interview go?”

The ex-Michigan player answered, “Great! I got the job. In fact, I’m already investigating a murder case.”

I wonder what he thinks about the “Touchdown Jesus” mural on the front of Notre Dame’s library?

Ennywho, last week I wuz 16-3 to bring the season record to 133-40 fer a .769 percentage. Let’s see if we kin finish strong.
