Happy Saint Andrew's Day; time to do traditional Scottish things, so I'm eating a deep fried veggie haggis marinaded in half a bottle of single malt while wearing a kilt made of shortbread.
My father’s father came from Scotland to the US when he was 16 and passed on many Scottish traditions including jokes poking fun at his own heritage. One of my favorites is as follows (forgive me if you’ve heard it):
A Scotsman, an Irishman and a British man are in a cab when suddenly it jerks, heading off the road, down a cliff. Just before the cab crashed, killing everyone inside, the men yell out their last words. The British man yelled “God save the Queen”, the Irish man yelled “God save Ireland” and the Scotsman yelled “For Gods sake, turn off the meter!”
