snowyday Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 A man asked a Scots fellow-traveler for the time as they were journeying by train from the North to London. The Scot looked up from his book and replied: “You only want to know the time to get into conversation with me, and if, we get into conversation we shall become friendly, and when we get to London you’ll ask me to have a drink and I’ll ask you to have a drink, and we’ll have another drink, and then I shall ask you to lunch, and you will visit my house, where I have a beautiful daughter, and you will visit my house again, and one day you’ll come and ask me if you can marry my daughter and why the blazes should I give consent to a man who can’t afford to buy a watch?†* * * * snowyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
