The Scottish Farmer
The Scottish Farmer
A Scottish old timer in Scotland, in a bar, talking to a young
man.
Old Man: "Lad, look out there to the field. Do ya see
that fence?
Look how well it's built. I built that fence stone by
stone with me
own two hands. Piled it for months. But do they call
me
McGregor-the-Fence-Builder? Nooo.."
Then the old man gestured at the bar. "Look here at the
bar. Do ya see
how smooth and just it is? I planed that surface down by me
own achin'
back. I carved that wood with me own hard labour, for eight
days. But
do they call meMcGregor-the-Bar-builder? Nooo..."
Then the old man points out the window. "Eh, Laddy, look out
to sea. Do
ya see that pier that stretches out as far as the eye can
see? I built
that pier with the sweat off me back. I nailed it board by
board. But
do they call me McGregor-the-Pier-Builder? Nooo...
Then the old man looks around nervously, trying to make sure no
one is
paying attention. "But ya fuck one goat . . . "
