Geordies Aren’T Stupid

[ChillDoubt]

52,000 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+15?' After 15 or 20 seconds Gazza says, '18!'

Obviously everyone is a little disappointed. Then the Geordies 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 give him another chance. So he asks 'What is 5+5?' After nearly 30 seconds he eventually says, '90?'

Shearer looks down and just lets out a dejected sigh. Everyone is disheartened and Gazza starts crying. But then the 52,000 Geordies begin to yell and wave their hands 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+2? 'Silence hangs over the stadium. Gazza closes his eyes, and after a whole minute eventually says, '4?'

Pandemonium breaks out throughout the stadium as the Geordie crowd start to wave their arms, stomp their feet and scream......:

'GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE! GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE!'


Apologies to Newcastle fans, that was sent to me by a former Army colleague, a lifelong Mackem.

I quite liked that one. So, I take it, not all Geordies are as academically gifted as Gazza ?

OG,
You’ve obviously not heard the saying:

Sweating like a Geordie in a maths test.

[Ken4155]

Or the saying, a Geordie is just a Jock with his brains bashed in.

As a Geordie I can only LOL.

Talking of Mackems, the following was scrawled on a shipyard wall:

Q. How long does it take for a Mackem lass to have a schytte?

A. About nine months.

I was going to show this to my Geordie colleague, but on second thoughts I'd better not ;)

I remember when Paul Gascoigne sent Yasser Arafat one of his England No 8 shirts after he had been told that Arafat wanted to be buried in the Gaza Strip.

That is funny but I have never heard that Geordies are meant to be stupid before.
