1. Title: "The Scottish Job Hunt: A Tale of Two Scotsmen" Caption: In the heart of the 20th century, amidst the bustling streets of Scotland, two intrepid Scotsmen, Donald and Angus, embarked on a quest for employment. Armed with their kilts, sturdy work boots, and an unyielding spirit, they ventured into the unfamiliar territory of an office, seeking a coveted job vacancy. The scene unfolds in this delightful comic postcard, where Donald, with a determined look in his eyes, scans the "Job Vacancies" section of the local newspaper. Angus, ever the optimist, offers a word of encouragement, "Aye, Donald, this is the one! The 'Sales Clerk Wanted' ad, it's got your name written all over it!" Donald, however, is not so sure. He looks up from the paper, his brow furrowed, and asks, "But what's this about 'swimming abilities'? I can't very well sell goods if I'm drowning in the stockroom, can I?" Angus, ever the pragmatist, reassures his friend, "Nonsense, Donald! It's just a figure of speech. They're not asking you to swim in the stockroom, they're just looking for someone who can 'handle' the pressure!" The pair shares a hearty laugh, their spirits lifted by the prospect of a new beginning. They exchange a knowing glance, their eyes reflecting the hope and excitement of a fresh start. In the background, the office scene unfolds: a window with a view of the rainy Scottish landscape, a ledger on the desk, a stool by the bin, and an empty chair waiting for the new recruit. The stage is set for the next chapter in the lives of these two Scotsmen. Join Donald and Angus on their journey as they navigate the challenges and triumphs of the job market, all while maintaining their Scottish charm and wit. This comic postcard is a testament to the resilience and humor of the human spirit, even in the face of adversity.
