Memory Man

[Seafood]

Dave the Scouser is touring the US on holiday and stops in the remote hills of Nevada. Hes chatting to the bartender when he spies and old Indian sitting in the corner - complete with full tribal gear, long white plaits and wrinkled face. "Whos he?" asks Dave. "Thats the memory man" says the bartender. "He knows everything. He can remember any fact. Go and try him out". So Dave wanders over, and thinking he wont know about English football, asks: "Who won the 1965 FA Cup Final?". "Liverpool", replies the Memory Man, instantly. The tourist is amazed, "Who did they beat?". "Leeds" comes the reply, quick as a flash. "And the Score?" asks Dave. The wise brave doesnt hesitate - "Two-One". Thinking that details may fox him Dave tries sumthing more specific. "Who scored the winning goal?" he asks. The Red Indian doesnt even blink "Ian St John!". The Scouser is flabbergasted and, returning home tells all his friends and relatives. Ten years later hes saved enough to visit the US again and after weeks of searching through the towns of Nevada, Dave finds the Memory Man in a cave in the mountains, older and more wrinkled still in his headress and warpaint. Humbled by the vision, Dave steps forward, bows and greets the Indian in the traditional native tongue "HOW". The Memory Man squints at him and says "Diving header in the six yard box...."
