ticket

[Guest guest]

A Scotsman, carrying a huge suitcase, has been riding a London

bus for five miles along its route, all the while attempting to

avoid the ticket collector. Finally, the conductor manages to

corner him and tells him to pay up.

 

"You've been on for five miles--that'll be 50p, please, and 10p

for your suitcase."

 

The Scotsman responds, "I ha'not, I want a ha'penny fare, just

got on this vera moment."

 

They begin to argue, and the ticket collector becomes more and

more enraged, and finally, as the bus is passing over London

bridge, he grabs the Scotsman's suitcase and hurls it out of

the bus. It lands in the river and sinks without a trace.

 

The Scotsman stands shocked for a moment and says to the ticket

collector, "Not only are ye tryin' to overcharge me for the

ticket--but now ye've gone an' drowned me boy Angus!"
