Loch Ness Marathon Joke : Cannie Scots
Kihara made a strong start in the Loch Ness Marathon and
even by the mile mark had a decisive lead. However, as he
rounded the next corner he was shocked to see a kilted
figure a few hundred yards ahead of him. Annoyed that he
wasn’t in the lead he upped his pace.
By the six mile mark he had reduced the gap enough to see
that the leader was carrying a sheep under each arm. Kihara
dug in deep but gradually the kilted runner increased his
lead again.
As he approached the hill at eighteen miles Kihara once
again grew close to the leader. Pushing with all his might
Kihara drew level at the top of the hill.
Through puffs and pants he gasped to the Scotsman, “Why are
you making things so difficult for yourself – you could be
leading by miles if you weren’t carrying those sheep.”
“Och Ah’m no’ in the race laddie,” replied the Scotsman, “Ah
jist grudge the bus fare tae take ma sheep tae the market.”
