Jock asked the bus conductor how much it would cost to travel into town. "80 pence" said the conductor. Jock thought this was a bit steep so he decided to run after the bus for a few stops. "How much now?" he asked. "Still 80 pence". Jock ran after the bus for another three stops and, panting, he asked "How much now?" The conductor replied "90 pence. You're running in the wrong direction!"
節儉的蘇格蘭人
喬克問售票員坐車去城裏多少錢。“80便士”售票員說。喬克覺得這價要的太離譜了，所以他決定跟着公交車跑幾站。”現在多少錢？”他問道。“還是80便士。”傑克又跑了三站路，氣喘吁吁，他問“現在多少錢？”售票員回答說：“90便士。”你跑錯方向了！”
