A Quick Joke.

[allan]

The Scene is in a Glasgow Court, The witnes is being questioned by a rather
clever mouthed 'Advocate Depute' [A.D.]

AD.... 'You say you went to your friend's house that night.
Why did you go there?"

WITNESS "Tae get a tap."

AD... "Is your friend a plumber?"

WITNESS "Naw."

AD... "Are you a plumber?"

WITNESS "Naw."

The witness is a bit bewildered by this line of questioning and the
A.D realises it, but notices that the court police officer is rubbing
his fingers of one hand together in the universal gesture of money.

Daylight apparently dawns on the AD and he changes his line of
questioning accordingly.

AD.... "So you went to the house to borrow money?"

WITNESS "Naw."

AD "Ah. You went to the house to lend money?"

WITNESS "Naw."

In exasperation the AD says, "You told the court you went to your
friend's house for a tap.
What kind of a tap was it?"

WITNESS "A CELTIC tap!"..................

Sorry I did not laugh. If you could translate the whole thing into English and when I read it again I will probably laugh at it.

[allan]

In England we would say 'Top'
In Scotland, they say .......TAP.>>>>>>>

[Globalmyths]

Sorry but its taking me a lot longer to try and understand it than what it took you to tell it.
Even with the top tap explanation I still don't get it.

[gag]

Dont worry about it global, it wasnt worth getting anyway !

cheers
gag.

[Globalmyths]

Being me I would have loved to have read it laughed at it and then make a kind appreciative comment about it. But in this instance it was not to be. Sorry Allan.

As the idiot said Global, nothing to worry about..........
Gag' is this your name or profession,? or are you a fool on a full time basis?
Personnally, I thought it was quite good, then again I have a sense of humour..
Had a shelted life for some time have you......Everyone has a right to be stupid.......
You Abuse It.>>>>>>>
