Primary Teacher explains to her class that she is a Newcastle fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they too are Newcastle fans. Everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl. The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says, 'Mary, why didn't you raise your hand?' 'Because I'm not a Newcastle fan, miss,' she replied. The teacher, still shocked, asked, 'Well, if you are not a Newcastle fan, then who are you a fan of?' 'I am a Sunderland fan, and proud of it,' Mary replied. The teacher could not believe her ears. 'Mary, why, pray tell, are you a Sunderland fan?' 'Because my mum is a Sunderland fan, and my dad is a Sunderland fan, so I'm a Sunderland fan too!' 'Well,' said the teacher in an obviously annoyed tone, 'that is no reason for you to be a Sunderland fan. You don't have to be just like your parents all of the time... What if your mum was a prostitute and your dad was a drug addict, what would you be then?' Mary smiled, 'Then, miss, I'd be a Newcastle fan'.
