Anything but Boro...

For Toon fans:

A primary teacher starts a new job at a school in the Boro, and trying to make a good impression on her first day, explains to her class that she is a Boro fan.

She asks the class to raise their hands if they too are Boro 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 Boro fan," she replied.

The teacher, still shocked, asked: "Well, if you're not a Boro fan, then who do you support?"

"I'm a Newcastle fan, and proud of it," Mary replied. The teacher could not believe her ears. "Mary, why are you a Newcastle fan?"

"Because my mum and dad are from Newcastle and my mum is a Newcastle fan and my dad is a Newcastle fan, so I'm a Newcastle fan too!"

"Well," said the teacher, in an obviously annoyed tone, "that's no reason for you to be a Newcastle 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 and a car thief, what would you be then?"

"Then," Mary said, "I'd be a Sunderland fan."
