A NEW CHRISTMAS TRADITION~ 'PUNKING' MY NEPHEW~!

My 24 year-old Nephew Justin is a huge

Philadelphia Eagles Fan (sorry about his luck),

and a big fan of former QB Donovan McNabb...

Last year, I gave him an Eagles Football that,

oddly enough, washed ashore on Ocracoke

Island NC where I live year 'round, proving

yet again that Truth is Stranger than Fiction.

The FAKE part (or, NON-truth), was

perpetrated by me, the sinister

Uncle, who FORGED Donovan

McNabb's stylized signature

on the ball after some

extensive research

on the inter-web...

Well, he was ecstatic with the gift

up until I broke his heart (just like

the Eagles) by letting the cat out of

the bag that he'd been Punked.

Laughter ensued and at least

he had a cool leather football

with an embossed Eagle and

forged signature to fool his

Eagle-Fan friends...

SO, this year...

After feeding an entire Bus-load

of half-starved midget football players,

due to their escort's credit card being

expired, their grateful Coach enlisted his

old star-player from High School to

come do some promotional work

for our little road-side sandwich

shack. The final photo was,

once again, signed by

Donovan McNabb~!
