Scottish Joke Title : A Scottish Excuse

The Joke :

Wee Hughie came into the office an hour late for the third time in one week and found the boss waiting for him. 'What's the story this time. Hughie ?' he asked sarcastically.' Let's hear a good excuse for a change.
'Wee Hughie sighed, 'Everything went wrong this morning. The wife decided to drive me to the harbour. She got ready in ten minutes, but then the ferry didn't turn up.
Rather than let you down, I swam across the river, ran over the mountain, borrowed a bicycle and cycled the 20 miles through the glen to this office.'
You'll have to do better than that. Hughie, 'said his boss, disappointed. 'No woman can be ready in ten minutes.'
