I was in New York a few months ago in a bar on the corner of Times Square
when I happened to overhear this Old Scottish couple talking.
It was obvious from the way the husband was taking that the old lady was a
wee bit deaf.

They had very thick Aberdeen accents.

Anyway, I'm sitting there drinking some Guinness when I see this Tall
American guy walk up to them and say.........:

American : Well, excuse me there, Ma'am  I couldn't help but hear your
accents, where are you from ?

Old Lady : (Turns to husband) Wha's that maan sayne tae me Jimmy, I dinnae
unnerstan a wurd he's sayne tae me ...

Husband : He's axing you where we're frae, hen.

Old Lady : (Turns to American ) We're frae Scotland, son.

American : Well, I'll be damned, Bonnie Old Scotland, I spent some time up
in Bonnie Old Scotland. Tell me Ma'am, what part of Bonnie Old Scotland are
you from.

Old Lady : (Turns to husband) Wha's that maan sayne tae me Jimmy, I dinnae
unnerstan a wurd he's sayne tae me ...

Husband : He wuns tae know what part o' Scotland we're frae, hen.

Old Lady : (Turns to American ) Aye,We're frae Aberdeen, son.

American : Well, I'll be damned, you're from Aberdeen, I spent some time up
in Aberdeen, and while I was there I made love to the ugliest, most
disgusting woman in the World, must be thirty years ago.

Old Lady : (Turns to husband) Wha's that maan sayne tae me Jimmy, I dinnae
unnerstan a wurd he's sayne tae me ...

Husband : He seys he thinks he knows ye !
