A 7yr old boy had a history of being beaten by his parents so the judge awarded custody to his aunt. The boy refused because his aunt beat him more than his parents. The judge dramatically allowed the boy to choose who should have custody of him. Today in court custody was granted to Wigan Warriors as the boy firmly believes that they are not capable of beating anyone.

Pretty sure this as already been done .....
How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?
True story. I was talking to a wigan fan after the Leigh v Wigan game and he said he wasnt impressed with our new ground as "its the coldest ground Ive ever been to." It was snowing at the time! Must come from the warm side of wigan.
Oooh.... is it the return of the Wigan joke thread (And if we've never had one, why not?)
My favourite:
Two crust munchers walking the cobbled streets of pie land and one sees something shining on the floor. Being inquisitive he picks it up and sees its a piece of mirror.
Looking in it he says "I'm sure I know that face".
Other one says "Lets have a look...... Of course you do, its me you daft bugger!"
God is nothing more than an imaginary friend for grown ups.

Picture the scene:
1960's
back to back terrace rows, in a grim Northern mining town.....(W*g*n!!). Bert and Jimmy, next door neighbours are going down the yard to their adjoining outside loos, and once in and seated a conversation between the two ensues....
"Evenin' Bert!" says Jimmy " 'ows it gooin, owd lad?"
"Not bad Jemmy, 'ows thi'sen?"
"Eeh, bluddy turrible!!" says Jimmy "Way getten burgle't th'uther neet!"
"Oh, no!" says Bert "Did they gerraway wi much?"
"A couple 'o' quid of t'mancklepiece, furt t'rentmon......but that wernt worst uv it!!"
"Why?, whats 'oppened?"
"Well, it were Monday neet when it 'opponed. Mary were mekkin prater pie out ut Sunday left-ovvers, un she'd left pon simmerin' while she were knockin' up a cruss for it. She saw uz' she didn't have ony flour left, so 'ad just popped up to t'top shop furt get some, and while she were out, that must a bin when they slipped in. As well as tekkin t'money, they've only gone and shat int t'pon ont 'stove!!"
"Ee, the dirty buggers.....so what did you do?"
"Well,wad else could we do......we 'ad to chuck 'alf of it away!!!!"
