The Price Appealed.

Two Scotchmen walked into a bar. One of them desired to purchase a bottle of whisky, but when he came to count the small change in his purse he found he had only twelve shillings and threepence. He turned to his companion and said: “Jock, give me threepence to get a bottle of whisky.”

Jock looked carefully in his purse, and produced a coin. “Here's sixpence.” he said. “Get a bottle for me, too.”
