Joke I thought you guys might appreciate

[fhpdo]

Prince Charles is visiting Raigmore hospital in Inverness.

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."

Charles 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
Prince 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, Charles turns to the accompanying
doctor and asks "Is this a psychiatric ward?"

"No," replies the doctor, "this is the serious Burns unit."

Mark Twain said that the pun was the most painful form of humor, next to the practical joke.

Ouch.

Excelent, needed a little smile this morning.

Oh, my Lord! That was one of the best jokes I've ever heard.

The pun is truly the highest form of humor, and while Shakepeare was a master of the pun, this beats even ole Will himself.

Thanks.

A very good one sir! Definitely added a bit of brightness to the morning!
