A young Scottish lad and lassie were sitting on a low stone wall, holding hands, and just gazing out over the loch.

For several minutes they sat silently, then finally the girl looked at the boy and said, "A penny for your thoughts, Angus."

"Well, uh, I was thinkin' perhaps it's aboot time for a wee kiss."

The girl blushed, then leaned over and kissed him. Then he blushed. Then the two turned once again to gaze out over the loch.

After a while the girl spoke again. "Another penny for your thoughts, Angus."

"Well, uh, I was thinkin' perhaps its aboot time for a wee cuddle."

The girl blushed, then leaned over and cuddled him. Then he blushed. Then the two turned once again to gaze out over the loch.

After a while the girl spoke again. "Another penny for your thoughts, Angus."

"Well, uh, I was thinkin' perhaps its aboot time you let me poot me hand on your leg."

The girl blushed, then took his hand and put it on her leg. Then he blushed. Then the two turned once again to gaze out over the loch.

After a while the girl spoke again. "Another penny for your thoughts, Angus."

The young man knit his brow. "Well, now," he said, "my thoughts are a bit more serious this time."

"Really?" said the girl in a whisper, filled with anticipation.

"Aye," said the lad.

The girl looked away in shyness, began to blush and bit her lip in anticipation of the ultimate request.

Angus blurted out, "Din'na ye think it's aboot time ye paid me the first three pennies?"

Give Angus his 3 cents and tell him to go play with himself!

Good one Sir.

A thrifty Scotsman joke! While funny, would this be acceptable if Angus were named Jacob David Mendelbaum?

I was thinking the exact same thing

Of course it would be funny. But it's funnier with the accents.

It's TILTED HUMOR, folks. It's a JOKE. Don't take it so seriously!

You know, I've always felt the expression "Penny for your thoughts?" works better in the opposite direction. In other words: "Would you like something interesting (the metaphorical penny) to think about?."

The first time it was put to me, I said "Okay.", and sat their like an idiot assuming some opinion was forthcoming. That was awkward.

I'm with Angus on this one. Where's ma penny?
