A teacher starts a new job at a primary school in Wigan and, trying to make a good impression on her first day, explains to her class that she's a big super lea...gue fan and supports Wigan RL. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Wigan 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 Wigan fan miss," she replies. The teacher, still shocked asks:"Well, if you're not a Wigan Fan, then who are you a fan of?" "I'm a St Helens rugby fan, and proud of it," Mary replies. The teacher can't believe her ears. "Mary, how come you're a Saints fan?" "Because my mum and dad are from Parr and are Saints fans, so I'm a Saints fan too!" "Still," says the teacher, annoyed, "that's no reason for you to be a Saints fan as well. You don't have to be like your parents all the time, do you? What if your mum was a prostitute and your dad was a drug addict and car thief, and you found out they are in fact brother and sister? Would you be like them then?" "No," smiles Mary, "I'd be a Wigan fan."
