It was the insect cup final (football/soccer) and the ants are playing the earwigs. The earwigs are losing 3-0 and its halftime. The team manager asks them in the dressing room what is going on and the team captain says that there is no communication between the players. So the manager has an idea – let’s put numbers on the shirts so we know who is who.
So they get some numbers from the kit man and put them on. All the players get their numbers but the number 10 hasn’t got a 1. So he goes out with a zero on his back.
Anyway, he plays an absolute blinder for the next 45 minutes, scores 4 goals without reply and the earwigs win! But the earwig with the zero isn’t happy – he’s scored 4 goals, won the match for his team but none of the crowd are singing his name. But the manager tells him to listen carefully and the crowd are chanting…............
“Earwig O, Earwig O, Earwig O!”
