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!"
节俭的苏格兰人
乔克问售票员坐车去城里多少钱。“80便士”售票员说。乔克觉得这价要的太离谱了，所以他决定跟着公交车跑几站。”现在多少钱？”他问道。“还是80便士。”杰克又跑了三站路，气喘吁吁，他问“现在多少钱？”售票员回答说：“90便士。”你跑错方向了！”
