An Englishman, Irishman and Scotsman went for a round of golf and
their wives went along as caddies. While walking around the course the
English man's wife caught her foot in a rabbit hole, tripped up, and landed
in a heap on the ground. Her skirt was over her head revealing that she wasn't
wearing any knickers! The English man stormed over and angrily demanded a reason
for her state of undress. "Well darling," she explained, "you give me so little
allowance that I have to make the odd sacrifice. Usually no one notices." The
Englishman thrusts his hand into his pocket and said, "Here's ten pounds. Go to
Mark and Spencer's and get some knickers."
Two holes further along the Irish man's wife caught
her foot on a mole hill, tripped up and landed in a heap
on the ground. Again her skirt was up over her head revealing
that she wasn't wearing and knickers either! The Irish man was
livid and he angrily demanded a reason for her lack of undergarments.
"Well darling," she explained, "you give me so little allowance I cannot
afford to buy undergarments." With that the Irish man thrust his hand
into his pocket and said, "Here's five pounds. Go to Woolworth's and get some knickers."
Three holes further on, the Scottish man's wife caught her foot on an
exposed root, tripped up and landed with her skirt over her head revealing
that even she wore no knickers! Her explanation to her irate was the same
as the others: Simply a lack of allowance. The Scottish man thrust his hand
into his pocket and said, "Here's a comb. The least you can do is tidy yourself up a bit."
