Funny Ha-Ha > What's the difference between Mick Jagger and a Scottish Shepherd?

Busy weekend. We had another pre-natal yard sale at my mother-in-law's house. (To everyone's amazement, the unmatched juice glass still hasn't sold. Call now to get in on the ground floor of this historical investment opportunity for just 10, no! 5 cents.)

After the sale I did some yard work, Melissa sorted things for the next yard sale, and Melissa and I helped her clean out the garage. We went over there today and finished things up, and I pressure-washed her house. Now I'm going to watch a DVD, get some sleep, and get up and go tomorrow. Meanwhile, here's a joke in the grand tradition of Scotch-Irish bestiality humor (the grand tradition being the humor, of course, and not the bestiality).

Q: What's the difference between Mick Jagger and a Scottish shepherd?

A: Mick Jagger says "Hey, you, get off of my cloud," while the shepherd says "Hey, MacLeod, get off of my ewe."

Credit where credit's due. I found the joke on this interesting thread at Scott Burgess's that L/libertarians past and present should read.

LATER: The DVD I'm watching is Miller's Crossing. I'll be damned if there isn't a carving knife in one scene that's just like one we sold today in the yard sale. Odd. It's a knife/fork carving set we bought at the Sunday flea market in Manhattan. We also sold a Houdini game we bought at a garage sale in Beverly Hills while we were following our Map to the Stars. We expected to find old Oscar statues or something, but it was mostly the usual ashtrays and pots and pans. The only unique thing was an organic chemistry modeling set exactly like the one I used in college. The guy wound up giving it to me because I knew what it was.
