I just encountered this while doing a search on Single Malt scotch.

Great Events in Scottish History:

1326 - The game of golf was invented in Scotland, followed shortly thereafter by the invention of the word "DAMMIT!"

1410 - Drinky MacDrunkard discovered how to make single malt scotch. He was then beaten to death by his neighbors when they found out they had to wait 12 years before they could drink it...

It was at http://www.blackfive.net/main/2006/0...ous_mock_.html and I thought it was funny.

HAHAHA

That reminds me of the time I brewed up a barleywine (ala Thomas Hardy) with a friend of mine who wanted to shove the racking tube down my throat when I told him he had to come over in a year's time to try it out and see if it was ready for consumption.

Those are good

But I thought it was another word that was invented!

Now this is the way I heard it ... "In 1326 the locals saw a man out in the fields beatn' an swinging at a wee object wi' a stick an cursing an calling down all sort of impercations upon said wee object, they called it witchcraft, today we call it golf."

anyone ever see the robin williams standup bit on how golf was invented? pretty funny, of course vulgar (it's robin williams), and pretty un-PC, but still kinda funny.
