OT Humor (specially for Sheena)

An Englishman is being shown around a Scottish hospital.
At the end of the tour he is shown into a ward with a number
of patients who show no signs of injury.

He goes to examine the first man he sees, and the man
proclaims "Fair fa' yer honest sonsie face,
Great chieftain o' the puddin' race!"

The Englishman, somewhat taken aback, goes to the next
patient, who immediately launches into:
"Some hae meat, and canna eat, and some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat and we can eat, and sae the Lord be thankit."

The next patient sits up and declaims:
"Wee sleekit cow'rin tim'rous beastie,
O what a panic's in thy breastie!
Thou need na start awa sae hasty,
wi' bickering bl'attle.
I wad be laith to run and chase thee,
wi' murdering prattle."

"Well" says the Englishman to his Scottish colleague "I see
you saved the psychiatric ward for the last".

"No, no" the Scottish doctor corrects him "This is the Serious
Burns Unit"

OUCH!

Thank you, Gillian. I called DH away from what he was doing (he's a Brit, too)
and he laughed out loud when he read it. I have forwarded it to his office
e-mail, where there are three Scots, and also to a friend of mine who is a very
keen member of the local Caledonian Society. No doubt it will go the rounds
there, too.

O dear, Gill - that certainly deserves a large Scotch!!! Happy Christmas to
you and the family - and to all on rctn.
