Gerard Houlier was looking to sign some new players to help Liverpool's title
push, so he sent his chief scout to Afghanistan to search for some new
talent.

Sure enough, the scout finds an outstanding 18 year old striker and
immediately signs him on a 3 year deal. On getting back to England,
Gerrard takes one look at him in training and immediately puts him in the
starting line up for the big home game against Arsenal.

The new lad is fantastic, he scores a hat trick and creates four more as
Liverpool romp it 7-0.

Ecstatic after the game, the young lad phones his mum to tell her the good
news.

"Mum" he says "I've just made my debut and had a great game. The team loves
me, the fans love me and the press loves me. Life is great!"

"Well," says his mum, "I'm glad life is great for you. Shall I tell you
what happened to us today? Your Dad's been murdered in the street, your
sister and I were raped and beaten in broad daylight, and your brother's
joined a vicious gang of killers".

"Mum, I don't know what to say. I'm so sorry"

Sorry?", she yells down the phone, "You're f*cking sorry? It's YOUR
f*cking fault we moved to Liverpool in the first place!!"
 
Ah so everyone likes old jokes then eh?

Well here's one that's been around a while that I got again today and worth posting here. But this time about Australians,
