Daily Scotch Story;
Figures Don’t Lie
“Lefty” Flynn hands us the
following:
An Irishman woi’king for a
Scotchman asked for an increase
in pay. The Scotchman replied:
“If you are worth it I will be
pleased to give it to you. Now,
let us see what you do in a year.
We have 365 days in a year; you
sleep 8 hours every day, which
makes 122 days you sleep; taken
from 365 days leaves 243. Now,
you have 8 hours recreation every
day, which makes 122 days; taken
from 243 days leaves 121 days. We
have 52 Sundays in a year, which
you have off, leaving you 69 days.
You don’t work Saturday after
noons ; this makes 26 days in a
year; take this off and you have
43 days lef* You have 14 days
vacation; taivc this off and you
have 29 days left. Now, Pat, you
are allowed IV2 hours for meals,
which totals in a year 28 days.
Take this off and you have one day
left. I always give you St. Pat->
rick’s Day off; so I ask you, Pat,
if you are entitled to a raise?
Pat then answered: “Well, what
the hell have I been doing then?”
