And what better way to kick it off than with a joke…..

At a grade school in Regina a teacher was talking with her students about football. She told the students that she was a Saskatchewan Roughriders fan. She then asked her students to raise their hands if they, too, were Riders fans.

Everyone in the class raised their hand, except Little Johnny.

The teacher looked at Little Johnny with surprise and said, “Johnny, why didn’t you raise your hand?” ‘Because I’m not a Riders fan,’ he replied.

The teacher, shocked and dismayed, asked ‘ well, if you’re not a Riders fan, then who are you a fan of?”

‘I’m a Winnipeg Blue Bombers fan, and proud of it,’ Little Johnnyreplied.

The teacher could not believe her ears. ‘Little Johnny, why are you aBombers fan?”. ‘Because my Mom is a Bombers fan, my Dad is a Bombers fan, so that makes me a Bombers fan too!’, explained Little Johnny. ‘Well’, said the teacher, in an obviously annoyed tone, ‘that is no reason for you to be a Blue Bombers fan. You don’t have to be just likeyour parents all the time. Why, what if your Mom and Dad were morons, what would you be then?”

Then Little Johnny smiled ” We’d be Saskatchewan Roughrider fans!”
