Geordie Joke Du Jour! 40,000 Geordies meet in St James Park for a "Geordies Are Not Stupid" Convention. Alan Shearer says, "We are all here today to prove to the world that Geordies are not stupid. Can I have a volunteer?" Kieron Dyer gingerly works his way through the crowd and steps up to the stage. Shearer asks him, "What is 15 plus 15?" After 15 or 20 seconds Dyer says, "Eighteen!" Obviously everyone is a little disappointed. Then 40,000 Geordies start cheering, "Give him another chance! Give him another chance!" Shearer says, "Well since we've gone to the trouble of getting 40,000 of you in one place and we have the world-wide press and global broadcast media here, I think We can give him another chance." So he asks, "What is 5 plus 5?" After nearly 30 seconds he eventually says, "Ninety?" Shearer is quite perplexed, looks down and just lets out a dejected sigh - everyone is disheartened - Dyer starts crying and the 40,000 geordies begin to yell and wave their hands shouting, "GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE! GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE!" Shearer, unsure whether or not he is doing more harm than damage, eventually says, "Ok! Ok! Just one more chance -- What is 2 plus 2?" Kieran closes his eyes, and after a whole minute eventually says, "Four?" Throughout the stadium pandemonium breaks out as all 40,000 geordies jump to their feet, wave their arms, stomp their feet and scream... "GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE! GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE!"
