A Penny For Your Thoughts

A Scottish lad and lass were sitting together on a heathery hill in the Highlands. They had been silent for a while when the lass said,  "A penny for ye thoughts Angus."
 
The lad was a bit abashed, but he finally said, "Well Mary, I was thinkin' how nice it would be if ye'd give me a wee bit of a kiss." So she did.
 
But he again lapsed into a pensive mood which lasted long enough for the lass to ask him, "What are ye thinkin' now Angus?"
 
To which the lad replied, "Well, I was hopin' ye hadn't forgot that penny!"

His First Kilt

In Scotland, the most important time for a young lad is when he "comes of age" and is allowed to purchase and wear his first kilt. A couple of weeks before his important birthday, a young lad went to a tailor shop and found the material he wanted for his first kilt.

He took the material to the tailor and said, "I'd like ye to make me a kilt with this material here and, if ye don't mind, I'd like ye to make me a pair of matching underwear for it. I hear it gets a might drafty up dem tings!"

So the tailor took the material and promised to call the young lad when the order was completed. A few days later the tailor called the lad back to the shop. "Here's ye kilt, and here's ye matching underwear, and here's five yards of the material left over. Ye might want to take it home and keep it in case you want anything else made of it."

So the lad rushed home with his order, threw the material in his room, and donned his kilt.

In his excitement, he decided to run to his girlfriend's house to show off his new purchase. Unfortunately, in his excitement, he forgot to don his underwear. When his girlfriend answered the door, he pointed to his kilt and said, "Well, what'd ye think?"

"Ah, but dat's a fine looking kilt," she exclaimed.

"Aye, and if ye like it, ye'll really like what's underneath," he stated as he lifted his kilt to show her.

"Oh, but dat's a dandy," his girlfriend shouted admiringly.

Still not realizing that he didn't have his underwear on, he exclaimed quite proudly, "aye, and if ye like it, I've got five more yards of it at home!"

Shamus Goes to College

A bright young Scottish lad named Shamus had the opportunity to go to university in London. So he packed his bags and said good-bye to his mother and left the highlands for the big city.

After the first week his mother called to see how her boy was holding up.

"I love it here Mother," Shamus told her, "but these English students are the oddest people ever! Why the boy who lives in the dormitory room next to me bangs his head against the wall until midnight every night. And the boy in the room above me stomps around until midnight every night. And the boy right below me blasts his stereo until midnight every night."

"Why don't you complain to the Dean of students?" asks his mother.

"Well, it doesn't bother me much," answers Shamus. "I'm usually up until that time quietly practicing my bagpipes anyway."

Gloria Finds a Bargain

Gloria was the typical penny-pinching Scottish old maid. So conservative most men thought, no way would she ever land a normal husband.  She was the type who would probably scald him before she agreed to sleep with him. Well, she never did, but that had nothing to do with her persistent love for shopping for a bargain.

One early spring day, Gloria could be found in the ritzy shopping mall, and this time a beautiful red wool suit caught her immediate attention. Rushing inside the store, she asked a clerk, "do you have another of those red wool suits like the one I saw from outside in the window?"

"Yes, lady," the sales clerk began. "Wait here, and I'll check in the back to make sure."

Shortly, the clerk returned, and Gloria's ear-to-ear smile said she was bound to make a purchase within minutes.

"May I try it on?" asked Gloria.

The clerk handed the suit to Gloria and showed her to the dressing room. In seconds, Gloria was back and admiring herself in that nice red wool suit in the closest mirror.

"May I wrap it for you, or do you wish to wear it?" asked the clerk.

"Oh," said Gloria, "I forgot to ask. What's the price? How much are you asking for it?"

"It's $149.95," the clerk answered.

"Damn!" said Gloria, as she rushed back to the dressing area to take off the suit, "no way am I going to pay that much of my hard earned for one wool suit!" Shortly, she was dressed and out of the store.

A little while later in the shopping center, Gloria spotted another dress that looked exactly like the one she had tried on at the first store. She just had to do it, so Gloria went in. This time, her first question was about the price of the red wool suit. Upon learning the price and checking it out to prove to herself that it was, indeed the same suit at a much better price, Gloria paid for the new dress, and with it neatly boxed and under her arm, she rushed back to the first store.

"See here," Gloria all but shouted when she spotted the clerk who tried to sell her an over-priced same, same suit. "Look what I found at another dress shop, and it only cost me $49.95!"

"Yes, lady," the clerk attempted to maintain her temperament, "this is not the same suit. The one you tried on here is made of virgin wool."

Gloria thought about that momentarily, looked deep into the sales lady's eyes, and said, "Damn! I saved $100.00. What the hell do I care what the sheep do at night!"
