Just
like us, the Scots are well
known about their talent
in money saving. And they
also known about the ability to
laugh at themselves. To have a
few minutes rest, please read
the below jokes. We collected
most of them from

moving house."
Old Tam, who had lost all his
teeth, had a visit from the
minister who noted that Tam
had a bowl of almonds. "My
brother gave me those, but I
don't want them, you can have
them" said Old Tam. The
minister tucked into them and
the said "That was a funny
present to give a man with no
teeth." To which Old Tam
replied "Not really, they had
chocolate on them..."

A farmer's wife, who was
rather stingy with her whisky,
was giving her shepherd a
drink. As she handed him his
glass, she said it was extra
good whisky, being fourteen
years old. "Weel, mistress,"
said the shepherd regarding
his glass sorrowfully, "It's
very small for its age."
At an auction in Glasgow a
wealthy American announced
that he had lost his wallet

give Ł150!"
Jock was out working the field
when a barnstormer landed.
"I'll give you an airplane
ride for Ł5," said the pilot.
"Sorry, cannae afford it,"
replied Jock.
"Tell you what," said the
pilot, "I'll give you and your
wife a free ride if you
promise not to yell. Otherwise
it'll be Ł10."
So up they went and the pilot
rolled, looped, stalled and
did all he could to scare Jock.
Nothing worked and the
defeated pilot finally landed
the plane. Turning around to
the rear seat he said, "Gotta
hand it to you. For country
folk you sure are brave!"
"Aye," said Jock "But ye
nearly had me there when the
wife fell oot!"
Jock's nephew came to him with
a problem. "I have my choice
of two women," he said, "a
beautiful, penniless young
girl whom I love dearly, and a
rich old widow whom I can't
stand."
"Follow your heart; marry the
girl you love," Jock counseled.
"Very well, Uncle Jock," said
the nephew, "that's sound
advice."
"By the way," asked Jock "where
does the widow live?"
"I hear Maggie and yourself
settled your difficulties and
decided to get married after
all," Jock said to Sandy.
"That's right," said Sandy, "Maggie's
put on so much weight that we
couldn't get the engagement
ring off her finger."

of fine whiskey and while
