Last year, I was asked to present the Toast to the Lassies at our annual Burns supper. I'm pleased to say that it went reasonably well and I got good reviews. For what it's worth I "proved" that Tam O'Shanter wasn't chased across the countryside because he interrupted the hideous revelries of a coven of witches , but because he inappropriately complimented a woman on her mini-skirt!

Since I'm still serving on the board, I'm likely to be asked to some role in next year's dinner. To that end, I'm looking for Burns quotes that are particularly memorable.

Any suggestions?
