Sorry for the poor quality.....but it made me laugh!

A stranger to Glasgow met his pal at the station. It was obvious that someone had recently punched his face.

His pal asked, "What on earth happened to you then?"

The chap replied, "I've no idea why, but a barmaid just belted me in the face! I was just killing a bit of time in a pub and my luggage bag was in the way, so I asked the barman if he would mind keeping it behind the bar. He was happy to do this. When I went back to collect it later, this barmaid was on duty. All I said to her was, 'Any chance of getting my holdall?' and she hit me!"

I don't understand why that is funny - if indeed it is?

[Lakitu]

Apparently Glasweigians have a habit of calling women 'doll'. Now go and re-red the part where he's asking for his bag back.

[andy-hughes]

OK - "Any chance of getting my hole, doll?"

Still none the wiser.

I assume he is after making love to said barmaid ie her hole.

Not one of your better ones Lakitu.

Defo lost in translation.

[Lakitu]

LOL, Ah well, I'll try not to let the side down next time, Squarebear! :)

I got it lakitu, good one!

[Lakitu]

Thank you JK!! :)

[andy-hughes]

If he said "Any chance of getting that holdall?" - that would make sense.

[Lakitu]

No, I don't think so, Andy....

[MrBounty]

That was quite funny - obviously the Scottish accents are lost on the English.....

Good one Lakitu!
It would have worked in Northern Ireland too as some of us also refer to women as 'dolls' and the phrase 'to get your hole', although gross, is often used!
andy-hughes - you aren't often stumped on this site as far as I can see but this one seems to have got you!

[andy-hughes]

Quite right shivvy - I have dipped out on this one, but I am always pleased to chat about things - every day is a school day, I never stop being educated.
