Scottish Old Timer
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 labor, for eight days. But do they call me McGregor-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 sheep . . . "
