“Just passed my cheerleading exam. I went in to the exam room and said ‘Give me an A!’ so they did”

Cheerleaders often shout, “Give me a T!  Give me an E! Give me an A! Give me an M! What does that spell? TEAM!”
   
“Evening of stand-up @ Headliners.Exam joke from Milton Jones. ‘I took a GCSE in Cheerleading. Walked in. Said :‘Give me an A!’ They did’” was posted on Twitter by LondonJazz News on July 3, 2009. “I recently passed an exam in cheerleading.
