Ay, McTavish and his talliwacker (will it buckle?).....
McTavish passed by McGregor's store every day and looked at the splendid brass pot in the window. One day, McGregor invited him in and asked why he always looked at the pot. McTavish said his wife wanted the pot. McGregor, bein' a bettin' man, said, "How bout a wee wager? I hear yee're quite the man. If you can lift that brass pot with your talliwacker, it's yours! Well, indeed, McTavish was the man, lifted that heavy brass pot up and away with his mighty talliwacker, and took it home to his wife who was most pleased with the splendid pot and her manly man.....
A couple of months later, store owner McGregor noticed that McTavish had started passing by the store and looking in the window and would walk away shaking his head and muttering "no, no, no". One day McGregor asked, "What's the matter McTavish?" McTavish replied, "Well it's the wife. I brought home that brass pot and now she wants the washin' machine you got in your window!" |
