A Scotsman went into a phone booth and called a number.

Connected, he said, "Mary, my love, will you marry me? Think it over and call me." He gave her the number of the phone in the booth.

Hours went by and the Scotsman stood around. The phone didn't ring once. Another Scot, watching from a pub across the street, came over and said, "Look, lad. She won't marry you. You might as well come in and have a pint. Not that I'm buying, mind you."

The waiting Scot waved off his friend and continued to wait. Suddenly the phone rang. The Scot said, "Mary's the girl for me, I knew that. She was waiting for the night rates!"
