A primary teacher starts a new job at a school in Collingwood and,
Trying to make a good impression on her first day, explains to her
Class that she is a Collingwood fan. She asks her students to
Raise their hands if they, too, are Collingwood 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 Collingwood fan,"
She replied.
The teacher, still shocked, asked: "Well, if you're not a
Collingwood fan, then who are you a fan of?" "I'm a Melbourne fan,
And proud of it," Mary replied. The teacher could not believe her
ears.
"Mary, why are you a Melbourne fan?"
"My mum is a Melbourne fan and my dad is a Melbourne fan, and so I'm a Melbourne fan too!"
"Well," said the teacher, in an obviously annoyed tone, "that's no
Reason for you to be a Melbourne fan. You don't have to be just
Like your parents all of the time. What if your mum was a Prostitute,
your dad was a drug addict, and your brother was a car Thief, what would you be then?"
"Then," Mary said, "I'd be a Collingwood fan."
