Earwig

Now, I will be the first to admit this is a lousy shot of an earwig but it was an opportunity too good to miss. I would like to tell you the story of the Earwig football team.

As in all other teams there are 11 players but there is only one sub allowed. The players are numbered 1 - 11 but there is only one sub allowed and he wears the number zero. This seasons team are at the top of the insect league but their star player has been on the bench for the last couple of games and is now begining to feel that he is losing the confidence of the team and more especially, the fans. At the latest match the half time score was one all and the teams had gone back to the dressing room for the half time chat. The teams made there way back onto the field but the sub stayed sat on the changing room bench feeling very unhappy. The match started and the trainer noticed he wasn't on the bench so went back inside to see if he was all right. On entering the changing room he saw the sub sat with his head in his hands. "Whats up mate" the trainer said. "You should be outside". "No, the team don't want me and the fans don't want me so I am better off in here". "Dont talk daft" said the trainer, the fans love you and they are even calling for you just now" "Are they" he said with real surprise in his voice. "Of course they do, listen to this" said the trainer as he opened the dressing room window and he could hear the fans chanting, "Ere we go, Ere we go, Ere we go".
