Yorkshire were playing Surrey at The Oval.A group of Yorkshiremen had taken the day off work and travelled down to see the match.It was one of those days of short sharp showers then sunshine.Everytime it started to rain all the Yorkshiremen took off their caps and put them under their coats,when the sun came out they put them back on again.
One of the Surrey fielders had watched this and during a break in the play he came across and spoke to one of them. “I cant help noticing that when it rains you take off your caps ,when the sun comes out you replace them . It’s left me in a state of puzzlement” (They’re posh who play for Surrey).
“Well it’s this way lad” answered the Yorkshireman ” Am in enough bother with the wife taking t’day off to see t’match ,If I go home and get into bed wearing a wet cap a’ll never hear end on it”
