Scouse Humour

Liverpudlians or scousers & scallys as they call themselves are so funny, they are a laugh-riot! That is what they tell the rest of us at least so here is some scally humour this 4th day of January.

Unfortunately, Liverpool has a latter day portrayal of a crime ridden City however true that is but as a City it has endured considerable privation especially in the Thatcher years of Government.

A Scouse joke

A scouser was touring the USA on holiday and stopped in a remote bar in the hills of Nevada. He was chatting to the bartender when he spied an old Indian sitting in the corner.

He had tribal gear on, long white plaits, wrinkled face. 'Who's he?' said the scouser. 'That's the Memory Man.' said the bartender. 'He knows everything. He can remember any fact. Go and try him out.'

So the scouser goes over, and thinking he won't know about English football, asks 'Who won the 1965 FA Cup Final?'. 'Liverpool' replies the Memory Man. 'Who did they beat?' 'Leeds' was the reply. 'And the score?' '2-1' 'Who scored the winning goal?' 'Ian St. John' was the old man's reply.

The scouser was knocked out by this and told everyone back home about the Memory Man when he got back.

A few years later he went back to the USA and tried to find the impressive Memory Man. Eventually he found the bar and sitting in the same seat was the old Indian only this time he was older and more wrinkled. Because he was so impressed the scouser decided to greet the Indian in his native tongue. He approached him with the greeting 'How'. The Memory man replied.....'Diving header in the six yard box'.

Finally

I have many scouse acquaintances and they are good decent people, I am thinking of one in particular Eamonn Murphy, or "Murph" as he is known to his friends. Murph is a "toffee" or Everton supporter who is in ill health at the moment - I wish him and his family my best wishes and prayers at this time.
