An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman were exploring deepest, darkest Africa when they came across a huge river. They were just wondering how they would get across when a leprechaun appeared on the riverbank (It's a long way to Tipperary - he'd got lost). “If you can get across this river without being eaten by the crocodiles” he said, “I'll give you my pot of gold… ”No problem“ says the Englishman. He gets halfway across before being swallowed by an enormous crocodile. The Scotsman goes next but almost as soon as he touches the water, a croc. gets him. Finally it's the Irishman's turn. Before diving in, he gets out a permanent marker and writes ”Man City for the league and cup double 1996-97!“ on his shirt. He then dives in and swims all the way across, no problem. ”Thats amazing“ says the leprechaun, ”How on earth did writing “Man City for the league and cup double 1996-97!” stop the crocodiles from eating you?“ ”Well“, says the Irishman, ”Man City for the league and cup double 1996-97? Not even a crocodile can swallow that…"
