Who started that rumour that football players are all muscle & no brain?
** Answering the above question **
A
football coach walked into the changing room before a game. He looked
over to his new signing and said, "I'm not supposed to let you play
since you failed arithmetic, but we need you to be in the team. So,
what I have to do is ask you a math question, and if you get it right
then you will be allowed to play."
The
player agreed, so coach looked into his eyes intently and asked,
"Okay, now concentrate hard and tell me the answer to this. What is two
plus two?"
The player thought for a moment and then answered, "4?"
"Did you say 4?" the coach exclaimed, excited that he had got it correct.
Suddenly all the other players on the team began shouting..., "Come on coach, give him another chance!"
** The Empty Seat **
Bernie
and Eddie were fortunate enough to have a season ticket to watch
Manchester United. They could not help noticing that there was always a
spare seat next (K37) to them and they had a friend who would love to
buy a season ticket, especially if all three could have seats together.
One
half-time Bernie went to the ticket office and asked if they could by
buy the season ticket for K37. The official said that unfortunately the
ticket had been sold. Nevertheless, week after week the seat was still
empty.
Then
on Boxing day, much to Bernie and Eddie's amazement the seat was taken
for the first time that season. Eddie could not resist asking the
newcomer, 'Where have you been all season?'.
Don't ask he said, 'The wife bought the season ticket back last summer, and kept it for a surprise Christmas present.'
** A Dedicated Fan **
Michael
was watching the derby game between Manchester United and Liverpool;
Old Trafford was packed and there was only one empty seat - next to
Michael.
'Who does that seat belong to?' asked the person in the next seat.
'My wife usually sits there.' Michael replied
'But why isn't she here?' the neighbour persisted
'She died.' Said Michael in a matter-of-fact tone.
'So why didn't you give the ticket to one of your mates?'
'They've all gone to the funeral.' Said Michael.
