Unashamedly pinched from pistonheads, sorry if it's a repost on here!
A couple got married and went to America for their honeymoon. Whilst there they visit a Red Indian reservation and there's an old Red Indian chief sat outside a teepee cross-legged with a head-dress, war paint, his arms folded and a serious expression on his face. Next to him is a sign saying "Ask me any question for $1 - if I am wrong I will give you $100"
The man goes up to the chief, places a dollar bill on a plate in front of him and asks him, "Who won the 1921 Scottish FA Cup Final?"
Without altering his expression, the chief answers immediately, without altering his expression, "Partick Thistle."
The man is amazed by this and continues on his way.
For their Golden wedding anniversary, they decide to visit America again. Whilst there, they are passing the reservation and he says to his wife, "Let's see if the old chief's still there!"
They walk onto the reservation and they are surprised to see that he still is. He goes over, sits cross legged in front of him and places a dollar bill on the plate. He raises his arm with the palm of his hand facing forward and says "How!"
The chief replies, "Sandy Blair - diving header in the 81st minute."

There was a woman who looked very old so she went to her doctor to see if there was any way to get rid of all her wrinkles. The doctor said there was an experimental surgery that should get rid of her wrinkles but there might be some side effects.
She decided to go ahead. She had a small knob on the back of her neck which she was to twist a little each day.
The wrinkles gradually disappeared and people commented on how good she was looking.
However there was something bothering her so she went back to the surgeon.
She told him she had developed bags under her eyes and that was bothering her.
The doctor looked at her and repied "Oh, those are your breasts."
She then said "Well, what about the goatee?"

Old and nicked from another forum:
London 11th August - A public school teacher was arrested today at Gatwick Airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square, a slide rule, and a calculator.
At a morning press conference the Home Secretary said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-gebra movement. He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the Met Police with carrying weapons of maths instruction. "Al-gebra is a problem for us," he said. "They desire solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute values. They use secret code names like 'x` and `y` and refer to themselves as `unknowns,` but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with co-ordinates in every country. As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle".
When asked to comment on the arrest, Prime Minister Gordon Brown, speaking from his holiday resort before the planes stopped flying, said, "If God had wanted us to have better Weapons of Maths Instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes.

It has been a long standing joke in Toronto, once the Leafs always won the Stanley Cup in training camp in Sept. that the fans wore paper bags over their heads so people would not recognize them.
This year, after the Buds super start of zip wins and 7 losses the players are doing the same thing.
