Are Geordies this Stupid

[***Mr D***]

53,000 Geordies meet in St James Park for a "Geordies Are Not Stupid" convention.

Alan Shearer addresses the crowd. "We are all here today to prove to the world that Geordies are not stupid. Can I have a volunteer please?"

Gazza gingerly works his way through the crowd and steps up to the stage.

Shearer asks him "What is 15 plus 15?"

After 15 or 20 seconds Gazza says, "Eighteen!"

"I'm afraid not", says Shearer.

Clearly everyone in St James Park is a little disappointed and the Geordies all start chanting "GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE! GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE!"

Shearer says "Well since we have a capacity crowd, world-wide press and global broadcast media here, I think we can afford to give him another chance". So he asks, "What is 8 plus 8?"

After nearly 30 seconds Gazza eventually says, "Ninety?"

Shearer looks down and just lets out a dejected sigh. Everyone is disheartened and Gazza starts crying.

But then the 53,000 Geordies begin to yell and wave their hands, once again shouting "GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE! GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE!"

Shearer, unsure whether he is now doing more harm than good, eventually says, "What is 2 plus 2?"

Silence hangs over the stadium. Gazza closes his eyes, and after a whole minute eventually says, "Four?"

Pandemonium breaks out throughout the stadium as the Geordie crowd stand to a man, wave their arms, stomp their feet and scream ........ "GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE! GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE!"

On my coach trip travels around Uk I found that the geordies are the friendliest. The women aren't bitchy. The beer is good (Newkie Brown). The men can ballroom dance. Apart from the weather up there I cannot fault it as a region. There is beautiful scenery (Northumberland National Park) and plenty of Roman ruins to explore------love it.
