The Amazing Scotsman

A salesman drove into a small town in the Highlands where a circus was in progress. A sign read: 'Don't miss ROBERT, The Amazing Scotsman'.

The salesman bought a ticket and sat down.

There on an illuminated center stage, was a table with three walnuts on it. Standing next to it was an old Scotsman.

Suddenly the old man lifted his kilt, whipped out a huge willie and smashed all three walnuts with three mighty swings.

The crowd erupted in applause as the elderly Scot was carried off on the shoulders of the crowd.


Ten years later the salesman visited the same little town and saw a faded sign for the same circus and the same sign 'Don't miss ROBERT The Amazing Scotsman'.

He couldn't believe the old man was still alive, much less still doing that particular act.

He bought a ticket.

Again, the center ring was illuminated.

This time, however, instead of walnuts, three coconuts were placed on the table.

The Scotsman stood before them, then suddenly lifted his kilt and shattered the coconuts with three swings of his impressive appendage.

The crowd went wild.

Flabbergasted, the salesman requested a meeting with him after the show.

'You're incredible!' he told the Scotsman. 'But I have to know something. You're older now, why switch from walnuts to coconuts?'

'Well laddie,' said Robert, 'Ma eyes are no' whit they used tae be.'
 

Hmmm…fact or fiction? LOL

  5. When his eyes get even worse, I suppose there will be a job opportunity.
    I will have to do some training.
    Dang, do you know what a dozen Coconuts costs around here?

    1. LOL Bas. It will be a while before that job opens up. Meanwhile, you can start with the walnuts and then work up to the coconuts. ;)

  6. " Whipped out a huge willie?" Not sure I could smash 3 walnuts even with my little fists of fury. Definitely sure I don't want to be stored under and Older Scotman's kilt!

    Much Love
