I recently had to travel to Scotland for a brief visit - and had the great pleasure of meeting up with two old friends. These 2 guys were unbelievably amiable - outstandingly hospitable and I returned home having enjoyed their company immensely. They spoke English with a soft, beautiful 'lilt' that was almost musical - wore kilts and oozed national pride - but not in any way offensively.
After our meal we had a "wee strupach" and they took it in turns to tell me about the jokes "The English" tell about Scotsmen (I presently live in England). After each joke they fell about laughing. So in fond memory of my great visit North of the Border - here are just a few of the jokes I remember (I think they are very old!!)
Q - why do Scotsmen wear kilts?
A- because the sound of a zip being pulled down scares the sheep off.
Deaf old lady (loudly) to deaf old Scotsman wearing a kilt
Q - tell me - is anything worn under the kilt?
A - No madam - everything is in good working order.
To be read with a Scottish accent
Three Scots women are walking home at night and find a Scotsman passed out on the ground - lying partially under a cart. His upper body is under the cart and they can't see who he is - but if they can identify him they can get him to his home - so they take it in turn to lift his kilt.
The first woman looks under his kilt and says, "Weel.. it's not my husband".
The second woman looks under his kilt and says, "and it's not my husband".
The third woman looks under his kilt and says, "Och he's not even from our village!"
And in memory of good looking men everywhere who wear the kilt - some 'interesting' old pics from my archive.
