Straight Down the Middle
Straight Down the Middle
An Aberdonian, an Edinburgher, a Dundonian and a Glaswegian were playing a foursome at the Killiecrankie Golf Course one Saturday morning and found themselves behind a particularly slow group of golfers ahead of them. The Aberdonian fumed, 'What's with those laddies? We must have been waiting for fifteen minutes!' The Dundonian agreed, saying 'I've never seen such poor golf!' The Edinburgher called out 'We should tell them to hurry up. After all, time is money' The Glaswegian, seeing the green keeper going past asked 'What's wrong with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow, aren't they?' Murdo the green keeper replied, 'Oh, yes. That's a group of blind fire fighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime.' The group fell silent for a moment. Then the Aberdonian said: 'That's so sad. I think I'll say a special prayer for them tonight.' The Dundonian agreed and added: 'I'll contact an ophthalmologist colleague and see if there's anything he can do for them.' The Edinburgher followed that up with 'I think I'll donate £10,000 to the fire-fighters in honour of these brave souls' The Glaswegian was thoughtful for a moment and then said: 'Why can't they play at night?'
