Why be a Rangers fan? A primary school teacher starts a new job at a school in Glasgow and, trying to make a good impression on her first day, explains to her class that she is a Rangers fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Rangers 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 Rangers fan," she replied. The teacher, still shocked, asked: "Well, if you're not a Rangers fan, then who are you a fan of?" "I'm a Partick Thistle fan, and proud of it," Mary replied The teacher could not believe her ears. "Mary, why, pray tell, are you a Thistle fan?" "Because my mum and dad are from Partick, and my mum is a Thistle fan and my dad is a Thistle fan, so I'm a Thistle fan too!" "Well," said the teacher, in a obviously annoyed tone, "that's no reason for you to be a Thistle 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 Rangers fan."
