** Do (No) Gooders **
Patricia began her job in a secondary school as a counsellor and she was keen to help the pupils.
One day during break-time she noticed a girl standing all by herself on one side of the playing field while the rest of the children were enjoying a game of football [soccer] at the other end of the field.
Patricia approached and asked if she was all right. The girl said that she was.
Some time later, however, Patricia noticed that the girl was in exactly the same spot, still by herself. Going up to her again, 'Trish enquired, 'Would you like me to be your friend?'
The girl hesitated, then said, 'Alright,' while looking at Patricia with some suspicion.'
Feeling she was making progress, Pat then asked, 'Why are you standing here all alone?'
'Because,' the girl said with a large sigh, 'I'm the goalie!'
* Seat in Stand?
Bernie and Eddie were fortunate enough to have a season ticket to watch Manchester United. They could not help noticing that there was always a spare seat next (K37) to them and they had a friend who would love to buy a season ticket, especially if all three could have seats together.
One half-time Bernie went to the ticket office and asked if they could by buy the season ticket for K37. The official said that unfortunately the ticket had been sold. Nevertheless, week after week the seat was still empty.
Then on Boxing day, much to Bernie and Eddie's amazement the seat was taken for the first time that season. Eddie could not resist asking the newcomer, 'Where have you been all season' . Don't ask he said, the wife bought the season ticket back last summer, and kept it for a surprise Christmas present.
