Why Did The Haggis Cross
the Road?
Scotland is an amazing, unique country with so much to
celebrate: spectacular islands, mountains, glens and lochs;
a wonderful culture of music, poetry and dance; a proud,
though sometimes tragic history; a national football squad
that can hold its own against some of the best Girl Guide
teams in the world...Then there's haggis, the Loch Ness
Monster, the kilt, whisky, Irn-Bru, heather, thistles,
bagpipes and so on...But there's one thing the Scots as a
nation do particularly well: they take the piss out of all
of this! Yes - when the Scots tell a joke it's usually at
their own expense. So this collection of gems pokes fun at
just about everyone and everything from kilts and haggis
through footie and thriftiness to Sassenachs, Teeries, and
Glaswegians. Some of the jokes are old favourites retold,
some are brand new, and some are a few specimens found on
that internet thingy which have been massaged to make them
almost funny.
