I have to apologize beforhand - but - continuing in this vein, here's a
joke that follows this thread. Will offend sheep & some Scots....

A Scottish old timer in Scotland, in a bar, talking to a young man.
    
    Old Man:
    
    "Lad, look out there to the field.  Do ya see that fence?  Look how
    well it's built.  I built that fence stone by stone with me
    own two hands.  Piled it for months.  But do they call me
    McGregor-the-Fence-Builder? Nooo.."
    
    Then the old man gestured at the bar.
    
    "Look here at the bar.  Do ya see how smooth and just it is?  I     
planed that
    surface down by me own achin' back.  I carved that wood with me
own     hard
    labour, for eight days.  But do they call me    
McGregor-the-Bar-builder?
    Nooo..."
    
    Then the old man points out the window.
    
    "Eh, Laddy, look out to sea.  Do ya see that pier that stretches
out     as far
    as the eye can see?  I built that pier with the sweat off me back. I
    nailed it board by board.  But do they call me    
McGregor-the-Pier-Builder?
    Nooo...
    "
    
    Then the old man looks around nervously, trying to make sure no
one     is paying attention.
    
    
    
    
    "But ya fuck one goat . . . "
