man from England having business to do with another in Scotland, proceeded to Edinburgh by coach and put up an an inn for the night. The man he was to see lived about 10 miles distant, so said Englishman hired a horse and proceeded on his way. After three miles it started to rain, and after five he was soaking wet, and turned around and went back to Edinburgh. The next day the same thing happened. On the third day it didn't start raining until he'd gone 6 miles. At that point he saw a small boy leaning on a fence and looking at the wet rider. Rider asked boy, "Does it always rain in this infernal country?" Boy replied "Naw, sir, sometimes it snaws."
