A foreigner was touring the USA on holiday and stopped in a remote bar
in the hills of Nevada. He was chatting to the bartender when he spied
an old Indian sitting in the corner. He had tribal gear on, long white
plaits, wrinkled face.
"Who's he?" said the foreigner.
"That's the Memory Man." said the bartender. "He knows everything.
He can remember any fact. Go and try him out."
So the foreigner goes over, and thinking he won't know about English
football, asks "Who won the 1965 FA Cup Final?"
"Liverpool," replies the Memory Man.
"Who did they beat?"
"Leeds," was the reply.
"And the score?"
"2-1."
"Who scored the winning goal?"
"Ian St. John," was the old man's reply.
The foreigner was knocked out by this and told everyone back
home about the Memory Man when he returned.
A few years later he went back to the USA and tried to find
the impressive Memory Man. Eventually he found the bar and
sitting in the same seat was the old Indian only this time he was older
and more wrinkled. Because he was so impressed, the foreigner decided
to greet the Indian in his native tongue.
He approached him with the greeting "How".
The Memory man replied, "Diving header in the six yard box."
