A primary school teacher starts a new job at a school on Wearside and trying to make a good impression on her first day, explains to her class that she is a Mackem fan.
She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Mackem 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 Mackem fan," she replied.
The teacher, still shocked, asked:
"Well, if you're not a Mackem fan, then who are you a fan of?"
"I'm a Coventry City fan, and proud of it," Mary replied.
The teacher could not believe her ears.
"Mary, why, pray tell, are you a City fan?"
"Because my mum and dad are from Coventry, and my mum is a City fan and my dad is a City fan, so I'm a City fan too!"
"Well," said the teacher, in a obviously annoyed tone, "that's no reason for you to be a City fan. You don't have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mum was a prostitute and your dad was a drug addict and car thief, what would you be then?"
"Then," Mary smiled, "I'd be a Mackem fan."

It's washing day and little Johnny runs into the kitchen crying 'Mam! mam! someones knicked me Newcastle top from the washing line!'.

His mam takes him outside and they look round for it, she finds it in a bush and holds it up and says 'See no-one took your shi(r)t here it is'. Johnny is delighted but his mother looks angry so Johnny says 'whats wrong then?', the mother replies 'They've knicked me bloody pegs'......
