Atta Boy!
There was a football game and the runningback of the home team had just scored a touchdown. When the runningback came to the sidelines, one of the coaches patted him on the back and said “Atta boy!” Then when it was the defense’s turn, one of the defensive players sacked the quarterback. The sacker came to the sidelines and the coach patted him on the back and said, “Atta boy!” Then when it was their turn with the ball again, the quarterback sprinted past the defense and scored a touchdown. The coach, once again, patted the player on the back and said, “Atta boy!” Then, the ball boy came over and said, “Coach?” “Yes?”, the coach answered. The ball boy looked puzzled and said, “What’s an atta boy?”
