Voted Best Scottish Short Joke

[maggiebee]

A bloke walks into a Glasgow lending library and says to the prim librarian,

'Excuse me Miss, dae ye hae ony books on suicide?'

To which she stops doing her tasks, looks at him over the top of her glasses and says
'Bugger off, ye'll no bring it back!'

[tonyav]

Miss Prim.

[missprim]

What?

[missprim]

Oh you think I am the Scottish librarian.

[tonyav]

I knew you would turn up lol.

[missprim]

Forgot to say I've seen this one before, it's one of my favourites.

Voted? Voted by whom...?

[excelsior-1]

very clever .. an alternative punchline could be "we did, but it was lent out and has not come back yet"

[missprim]

Nae idea who voted Mark - maybe nobody! Just passing on.

[puternut]

My guess - according to the age of the the joke - is it was voted by Adam & Eve

[MarkRae]

Agreed, puternut - utter garbage...

[andy-hughes]

Unsure why this is specifically a 'Scottish' joke?

What about this -

What's the difference between Frank Sinatra and Walt Disney?

Frank sings and Walt Disney!

[missprim]

I think the reason this is a Scottish joke is because it probably sounds funnier in a Scottish accent.

[MarkRae]

I assure you it doesn't, or even, disnae...

[missprim]

Well Mark we're all entitled to our opinions and we don't all laugh at the same things.

Andy - I heard it as Bing Crosbie - so it was Bing sings and Walt disnae.
Maggie - sorry, the joke's duff ;)

[MarkRae]

Yes, Bing Crosby definitely, hence "Bing sings".
