Are the Scots Thrifty

[maggiebee]

A Scottish lad and lass were sitting on a low stone wall,
holding hands, gazing out over the loch.

For several minutes they sat silently.

Then finally the girl looked at the boy and said, "A penny for your
thoughts, Angus."

"Well, uh, I was thinkin'... perhaps it's aboot time for a wee kiss."

The girl blushed, then leaned over and kissed him lightly on the
cheek.

Then he blushed.

The two turned once again to gaze out over the loch.

Minutes passed and the girl spoke again. "Another penny for your
thoughts, Angus."

"Well, uh, I was thinkin' perhaps it's noo aboot time for a wee
cuddle."

The girl blushed, then leaned over and cuddled him for a few seconds.

Then he blushed.

And the two turned once again to gaze out over the loch..

After a while, she again said, "Another penny for your thoughts,
Angus."

”Well, uh, I was thinkin' perhaps it's aboot time you let me put my
hand on your leg."

The girl blushed, then took his hand and put it on her knee.

Then he blushed.

The two turned once again to gaze out over the loch before the girl
spoke again.

”Another penny for your thoughts, Angus."

The young man glanced down with a furled brow.

"Well, noo," he said, "my thoughts are a wee bit more serious this
time."

"Really?" said the lass in a whisper, filled with anticipation.

”Aye," said the lad, nodding.

The girl looked away in shyness, began to blush, and bit her lip in
anticipation of the ultimate request.

Then he said, "Dae ye nae think it's aboot time ye paid me the first
three pennies?

I knew of a Scottish bloke who starved to death on a pay-as-you-leave bus...

You're accusing the Scots of being mean then, DT?

[DTCwordfan]

How do you stop a Scotsman from being seasick?

Stick a £1 coin in his mouth and lean his head over the side of the boat.

[mrs.chappie]

Well it made me smile.

[DTCwordfan]

No Messi, you are perverting my words - I said that the Dutch make them look generous, thrifty being the theme of this joke thread.....

[tara20]

We don't have to be made to LOOK generous, we ARE generous ;-)

[Messi_Ten]

You're saying the Scots are mean, but the Dutch are even meaner. It's there in black and white.

My brother (a Yorkshireman) once saw a pound coin on the pavement and bent down to pick it up. Some bu88er had glued it to the pavement for a laugh.

Bro had the last laugh though - he went to his van and got out his hammer and chisel. Within seconds, that quid was in his pocket.

(Sorry to digress, OP).

(one to one, yes you are tara).

this is just some light banter and one or two folk have their breeks in a twist it seems, including one suspect Catalonian football fan me fears.

My last post for the night............

[tara20]

And Goodnight (from) Vienna!

[douglas9401]

Now now people, let's all just calm down. Why don't we all relax a bit and share a cup of coffee? :D

[maggiebee]

Maybe the joke wasn't all that funny but have had a smile on my face reading all the replies. Nighty night all

[tara20]

Spoilsport - just when I was enjoying myself!

[sidkid]

Wait till people see the one about Fatima I just posted.....

[jomifl]

I'm with Markrae on this one..

[quinie]

I liked it,maggiebee, and all the other jokes about the Scots. We don't take offence about Scots being mean because we know it's certainly not true and we're definitely not "door"-well,some might be but I don't know any!

[tara20]

..or even dour - deja vu

[tara20]

Well, since douglas hasn't put the coffee on, I might as well say goodnight - again

'night all
