"Gee, that's the memory man," replies the bartender. "He knows everything there is to know. Got a memory like an elephant, he can remember any fact. Heck, go and try him out!"
Norman heads over to the Red Indian, thinking that he can outsmart him with a question about Scottish fitba.
He asks the memory man, "Fa did Aberdeen beat to get into the Group Stages o' the Uefa Cup in 2007"
"Dnipro," came the instantaneous reply.
Dave tried once more asking, "Fit was the final score?"
The wise Red Indian didn't hesitate in answering, "1-1, Aberdeen went through on the away goal"
Norman thinks he'll get smart, asking the memory man for the name of the winning goal scorer. Without so much as blinking, the Red Indian says, "Darren 'The Lioncub' Mackie"
Norman is stunned and returns home to Aberdeen, where he tells everyone about the Red Indian. Norman's curiosity lingers, and he vows to return to American and pay his respects to the Indian. Ten years later, Norman finally saved up enough money to return and, after weeks of searching the Nevada desert, once more he finds the Red Indian, now in a cave.
Humbled by the Red Indian, Norman steps forward, bows, and greets the brave in his traditional tongue.
"How," Norman says.
The memory man squints at him and replies, "A diving header in the six-yard box."
