1091. Praying
A bright, well-behaved little boy lived with his parents and grandparents in suburbia. One evening, the boy's father passed outside his bedroom and was pleased to hear him kneeling beside his bed saying his prayers. He finished off with:
God bless mummy The father thought this form of prayer a little strange, but was so pleased that his son was praying of his own accord, that he thought nothing more of it.

As luck would have it, it was a Fulham home game. After a one-sided match Fulham lost, and the dog said, quite clearly, `Oh, no -- not again!'
The barman, startled, walked over to the owner and said `Did your dog just say ``Oh, no -- not again''?' Incidentally, during the match the police caught a Fulham fan climbing over the stadium wall. They were strict -- they made him go back in! 1096. Soccer game
