Topical joke
Tony Blair is visiting an Edinburgh hospital. He enters a ward full of
>patients with no obvious sign of injury or illness and greets one.
>
>The patient replies:
>
>"Fair fa your honest sonsie face,
>
>Great chieftain o the puddin race,
>
>Aboon them a ye take yer place,
>
>Painch, tripe or thairm,
>
>As langs my airm."
>
>
>
>Blair is confused, so he just grins and moves on to the next patient.
>
>The patient responds:
>
>"Some hae meat an canna eat,
>
> And some wad eat that want it,
>
> But we hae meat an we can eat,
>
> So let the Lord be thankit."
>
>
>
>Even more confused, and his grin now rictus-like, the PM moves on to the
>next patient, who immediately begins to chant:
>
>"Wee sleekit, cowerin, timrous beasty,
>
> O the panic in thy breasty,
>
> Thou needna start awa sae hastie,
>
> Wi bickering brattle."
>
>
>
>Now seriously troubled, Blair turns to the accompanying doctor and asks
>
>"Is this a psychiatric ward?"
>
>
>
>
>
>
>
>
>"No," replies the doctor,
>
>
>
>
>
>
>
>
>
>
>"this is the serious Burns unit."
