Since I've been reading Willy the Shake's posts lately and re-hearing
his Scottish burr, and also since I've been talking about men's anatomy
today (the two are unrelated, I think), it seems like a good time to
send this joke along:
A Scotsman is visiting the United States for the first time and decides to
take in a baseball game. As the game progresses, he tries to pick up the way
the game is played so he can cheer the teams on accordingly, but at first
nothing much happens, just a couple of routine infield outs. Finally one
batter draws a walk. As the batter walks to first base, the Scotsman,
excited that now maybe something is finally happening, yells at the top of
his voice "RRRUNN, LADDIE. RRRUNN! RRRUNN!" All heads within earshot of him
turn to stare at him. The Scotsman sits down, totally embarassed. The
spectator next to him tries to explain to him "That's OK, it means he has
four balls." The Scotsman stands up and yells to the baserunner "WALK WITH
PRIDE, LADDIE. WALK WITH PRIDE!"
