On the first day of school a first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a Manly fan.
She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Manly fans.
Wanting to impress their teacher, everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl.
The teacher looks at the girl with surprise, 'Mary, why didn't you raise your hand?'
'Because I'm not a Manly fan,' she replied.
The teacher, still shocked, asked, 'Well, if you are not a Manly fan, then who are you a fan of?'
'I am a Wests Tigers fan, and proud of it,' Mary replied.
The teacher could not believe her ears.
'Mary please tell us why you are a Tigers fan?'
"Because my mum is a Wests Tigers fan, and my dad is Tigers fan, so I'm a Tigers fan too!"
"Well," said the teacher in a obviously annoyed tone, 'that is no reason for you to be a Tigers fan. You don't have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mum was an idiot and your dad was a moron, what would you be then?'
"Then," Mary smiled, 'I'd be a Manly fan.'
