The story unfolds on a golf course with the wives of a Swede, an Irishman, and a Scotsman. As the Swede’s wife steps up to the tee, she bends over to place her ball, and a sudden gust of wind lifts her skirt, revealing she isn’t wearing underwear. Her husband, Ole, shocked, exclaims, “Good God, woman! Why aren’t you wearing any skivvies?” She explains she doesn’t have enough housekeeping money. Ole, for the sake of decency, hands her fifty dollars and tells her to buy some.
Next, the Irishman’s wife takes her turn. The wind lifts her skirt as well, and Patrick is equally surprised to discover she’s without underwear. She gives a similar excuse about money, so he hands her twenty dollars to solve the issue.
Finally, the Scotsman’s wife approaches the tee, and her skirt also blows up, revealing she isn’t wearing any undergarments. The Scotsman, stunned, demands, “Aggie! Where are your drawers?” She responds that she, too, can’t afford them. Instead of money, the Scotsman reaches into his pocket and, in typical fashion, hands her a comb, advising, “Tidy yerself up a bit.”
