This is how easy it is to ruin your reputation !
A Scottish old timer in Scotland, in a bar, talking to a young man.
"Lad, look out there to the field. Do ya see that fence?
Look how well it's built. I built that fence stone by stone with me own two hands. Piled it for months.
But do they call me McGregor-the-Fence-Builder?
Nooo.."
Then the old man gestured at the bar.
"Look here at the bar. Do ya see how smooth and just it is?
I planed that surface down by me own achin' back. I carved that wood with me own hard labor, for eight days.
But do they call me McGregor-the-Bar-builder?
Nooo..."
Then the old man points out the window.
"Eh, Laddy, look out to sea. Do ya see that pier that stretches out as far as the eye can see?
I built that pier with the sweat off me back.
I nailed it board by board.
But do they call me McGregor-the-Pier-Builder?
Nooo..."
Then the old man looks around nervously, trying to make sure no one is paying attention.
"But ya fuck one goat . . . "
