Another Native American, Ahem, joke.
A lad of 10 goes with his parents to the US. In Oklahoma, they visited a Native American reservation where, in a cabin resided the man according to the sign, with the best memory in the world, allegedly. The young boy, thought
"I will catch him out"
He went into the cabin, bedecked in Tribal antiquaries and, hold on, it was the cabin that was bedecked in Tribal antiquaries, not the boy. I digress. Anyway, he walked up to the old gentle man and said
" Who won the F.A. cup final in 1872?"
"Ha", he thought,
"Gotcha"
The old man paused briefly and replied,
"The 1872 FA Cup Final was a football match between Wanderers and Royal Engineers on 16 March 1872 at Kennington Oval in London. "
"Okay then" said the boy, shocked at the answer,
"But who won?"
"Wanderers, 1-0" Said the old man
A little embarrassed at his failed attempt to be smart he shuffled away a little impressed, to be honest.
Years passed and the young man now in his 30's was a native American enthusiast. Recreating the tribal lifestyles as much as you can with a notable lack of Bison, along with other enthusiasts in camps and meetings all over Europe. He had not forgotten the old man. One day he decided to go back to Oklahoma to visit the reserve once again. He could not believe it, the cabin was still there and apparently the memory man who he thought long gone was still there answering questions. He walked in the cabin, bedecked with Tribal antiquities, yes it was him this time. Saw this much older man, the same man, sitting in his chair. Knowing the ways of the Native Americans he saw his chance to speak to this incredible man. He walked up to him, front and centre to give him the appropriate tribal greeting and boldly spoke up
"How" he said
The old man paused briefly and said,
"A free kick just outside the penalty box"
