Old man MacGregor was belly up to the bar at his regular pub having a wee pint at the end of the day when a young stranger sits down on the stool beside him. After a few minutes MacGregor turns to the man and with a sorrowful voice says... "Laddie. Look out that window there. Ya see that wall at the far side of the field? That wall is ten feet high and 200 feet long. I built that wall. Stone by stone. Hauled them from the quarry 10 miles on me back one by one. Took me two months to build that wall. But do they call me "MacGregor the wall builder? NOOOOOOO."" After a lengthy pause MacGregor begins again. "Laddie. Look over there to the lake. Ya see that pier goin' out inta the lake? That pier is 10 feet wide and 100 feet long. I built that pier board by board with the sweat of me brow. Nearly drown a hundred times piecin' it together. But do they call me "MacGregor the pier builder? NOOOOOOO." Again, after another lengthy pause, MacGregor starts running his hands over the surface of the bar and talking. "Laddie. Ya see this bar? Ya see how smooth it is? I cut down the oak tree and hauled it here to this place. I sanded and planed for months making this bar with the skin of me body bleeding and the sweat of me brow. It's a beautiful bar as you can see. But do they call me MacGregor the bar maker? NOOOOOO." After another pause MacGregor turns his sad eyes once again upon the young man and laments... "Ahhhhh... But you fuck just one goat..."
