"Freshman" joke

The huge college freshman figured he'd try
out for the football team. "Can you tackle?"
asked the coach.
"Watch this," said the freshman, who proceeded
to run smack into a telephone pole, shattering
it to splinters.
"Wow," said the coach. "I'm impressed. Can you run?"
"Of course I can run," said the freshman. He
was off like a shot, and, in just over nine
seconds, he had run a hundred yard dash.
"Great!" enthused the coach. "But can you pass
a football?"
The freshman rolled his eyes, hesitated for a
few seconds. "Well, sir," he said, "if I can
swallow it, I can probably pass it."
