ONE ON SCOTTY
Some friends were in a restaurant the other day discussing the war, when a Scotsman at the next table remarked:
“The Alleys are doing verra weel, ar-ren’t they?”
One, thinking to be smart, said:
“The Alleys! Whom do you mean?”
“Why,” said the Scotsman, “the French and the Scotch, of course.”
At this the friends roared with laughter.
“Aye, you can laugh!” said the Scot. “But I saw my mistake as soon as I spoke. I should have said the Scotch and the French.”
