Manchester United were thrashed by Liverpool 5-0 over the weekend, leading to brilliant jokes like this one:
It;s not often I burst into uncontrollable laughter when reading SOTI, but this one made me do it.
For my Murkin Readers who don’t get the joke, here are some links:

I’m American and don’t follow soccer but I repeat myself. That’s a great Venn diagram!

It always irritates me when Americans make any inroads into soccer, mandating ESPN highlights & having to pretend it’s a legitimate sport. Speaking of favorite jokes:
The Lone Ranger is captured by Indians. The tribe advises he’ll be executed in 3 days. However, as he is an honorable enemy the Chief will grant him 3 requests, 1 per day.
For his 1st request the Ranger asks to speak to his horse. He whispers into Silver’s ear and the animal races away. He returns that evening with a beautiful blonde in the saddle. She dismounts and spends the night in the Ranger’s tent.
On day 2 the Ranger quietly consults with Silver once again. As before, Silver disappears over the horizon & returns later with a gorgeous brunette, even more stunning than the blonde. She too joins the Ranger in his tent.
On day 3 the Ranger asks for Silver one last time. He grabs Silver by the ears and shouts “For the last time – bring POSSE!!”
that’s great!!
