  1. Once upon a time an Irishman had a butcher's shop in Scotland and a Scotchman came in and asked for three feet of pork. The Irishman pulled out three pigs feet and gave them to him. The Scotchman asked for a yard of buttermilk and the Irishman put his finger in the buttermilk and then drew his finger along a piece of paper and told the Scotchman to tie it up and take it with him.
