A golfer is cupping his hand to scoop water from a Highland burn on the St Andrews course.
A grounds keeper shouts: ‘Dinnae drink tha waater! Et’s foo ae coo’s shite an pish!’
The golfer replies: ‘My Good fellow, I’m from England . Could you repeat that for me, in English!?’
The keeper replies: ‘I said, use two hands – you’ll spill less that way!

I don’t hate the English or anyone else, but I did have a little chuckle to myself when it came in!
cwj, good evening.
I don’t hate the English at all at all either but thon’s no a bad wee joke, despite the very strange mix of Jock accents involved,
Not the best pro-Jock joke ever, of course. That distinction still belongs to beanbean and her belter of 5th June 2008, in my opinion.

CWJ, I posted this yesterday morning! I am flattered!
Zen, do you mean here, or as an e-mail to someone, and it has gone round the world already?!
John, thank you for that fine contribution!
Here, it is still showing at bottom of recent posts
Zen, Now I am with you. My apologies – it was from an entirely different source, and obviously I hadn’t seen that you had pipped me to the post!
CWJ,
That is what I was trying to tell you in comments 1&2.
