40,000 Scousers meet in Stanley Park for a "Scousers Are Not Stupid" convention.

Steven Gerrard says, "We are all here today to prove to the world that Scousers are not stupid. Can I have a volunteer?"

Wayne Rooney brusquely works his way through the crowd and steps up to the stage.

Gerrard asks him, "What is 15 plus 15?"

After 15 or 20 seconds Rooney says, "Eighteen!"

Obviously everyone is a little disappointed.

Then 40,000 Scousers start cheering, "Give him another chance! Give him another chance!"

Gerrard 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?"

Gerrard is quite perplexed, looks down and just lets out a dejected sigh everyone is disheartened. Rooney starts crying and the 40,000 Scousers begin to yell and wave their hands shouting, "GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE! GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE!"

Gerrard, unsure whether or not he is doing more harm than damage, eventually says, "Ok! Ok! Just one more chance - What is 2 plus 2?"

Rooney closes his eyes, and after a whole minute eventually says, "Four?"

Throughout the stadium pandemonium breaks out as all 40,000 Scousers jump to their feet, wave their arms, stomp their feet and scream... "GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE! GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE!"
