A Scotsman, carrying a huge suitcase, has been riding a
London bus for five miles along its route, all the while
attempting to avoid the ticket collector. Finally, the
conductor manages to corner him and tells him to pay up.

"You've been on for five miles--that'll be 50p, please, and
10p for your suitcase."

The Scotsman responds, "I ha'not, I want a ha'penny fare,
just got on this vera moment."

They begin to argue, and the ticket collector becomes more
and more enraged, and finally, as the bus is passing over
London bridge, he grabs the Scotsman's suitcase and hurls
it out of the bus. It lands in the river and sinks without
a trace.

The Scotsman stands shocked for a moment and says to the
ticket collector, "Not only are ye tryin' to overcharge me
for the ticket--but now ye've gone an' drowned me boy
Angus!"
