Old joke - still a good 'un, now off to the pub...

A primary school teacher starts a new job at a school in Ipswich and, trying to make a good impression on her first day, explains to her class that she is a Ipswich fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Ipswich fans. Everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl.

The teacher looks at the little girl with surprise and says: "Mia, why didn't you raise your hand?" Because I'm not an Ipswich fan," she replied. The teacher, still shocked, asks: "Well, if you're not an Ipswich fan, then who are you a fan of?" "I'm a Norwich City fan, and proud of it," Mia replied. The teacher could not believe her ears. "Mia, why are you a City fan?" "Because my dad is from Norwich and my dad is a City fan, so I'm a City fan too!"

"Well," said the teacher, in an annoyed tone, "that's no reason for you to be a Norwich 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," Mia smiled, "I'd be a Ipswich fan."
