Scotsman's first baseball game
An Scotsman moves to the USA & finally attends his first baseball game.
The first batter approached the batters box, took a few swings and then hit a double. Everyone was on their feet screaming "Run," "Run." The next batter hit a single & the Scotsman listened as the crowd again cheered "RUN, RUN." The Scotsman enjoyed the game & began screaming with the fans. The fifth batter came up and four balls went by. The umpire called "Walk" and the batter started his slow trot to first base. The Scotsman stood up and screamed, "R-R-Run ye bastard, Run!" The people around him began laughing. Embarrassed, the Scotsman sat back down. A friendly fan noted the man's embarrassment, leaned over & explained, "He can't run, he's got four balls." The Scotsman stood up and screamed, "Walk with Pride, laddie, Walk with Pride!" |

I first heard this in1952. Yes, I am very old. As I recall it was first attributed to George Jessel,George Burns or Myron Cohen in the late 40ties. Considered risqué at the time. Still funny. I guess it is true that what goes around comes around.
