Real Kato Blog: Joke

My favorite joke this week. You might have heard it before.

This post on Idiom Savant started me thinking about some of my favorite jokes. I've been telling people the Interrupting Cow joke lately, but then I remembered the one below. It's fun if you can tell it out loud with a Scottish accent.

A man is walking along a road in Scotland, and he walks by a house. It's one of the most beautiful houses he has ever seen, with a natural stone facade, stained glass windows, and castle-like spires. The man marvels at the house for a while, then continues on.

Later he comes upon a stone wall. It's tall and sturdy and hundreds of feet long, and it looks like it'll last for a thousand years.

Finally, the man comes up to a pub, and he walks in. Sitting alone in the pub is a Scotsman. There doesn't seem to be a bartender in the pub, so the man just sits and waits a while. Finally, the Scotsman asks him if he wants a drink, and he says yes. The Scotsman reaches behind the bar and pulls out a bottle of Scotch, and pours two glasses. The man asks, "Where is the bartender?"

The Scotsman replies, "I be the bartender. I built this pub with me bare hands. All the furniture is made of oak and granite. It's the finest pub in all of Scotland. But do they call me McGregor the pub-builder? NOOOOO.

"And did you happen to pass a stone wall along the way? Surely you did. I built that wall too. With me bare hands. I moved twenty thousand rocks to build that wall. But do they call me McGregor the wall-builder? NOOOO.

"And did you see that house down the road? I built that house. With me bare hands. Took me ten years. Nearly killed me. But do they call me McGregor the house-builder? NOOOOO.

"But you fuck ONE goat..."
