Being Scottish is about drivingin a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home,grabbing an Indian curry or ,Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedishfurniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV.
And the most Scottish thing of all? Suspicion of all things foreign!
Only in Scotland can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.
Only in Scotland do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to theback of the shop to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buycigarettes at the front.
Only in Scotland do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries anda DIET coke.
Only in Scotland do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to thecounters.
Only in Scotland do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds on the driveand lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage.
Only in Scotland do we use answering machines to screen calls and thenhave call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want totalk to in the first place.
Only in Scotland are there disabled parking places in front of a skatingrink.
NOT TO MENTION..
3 Scots die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue.
142 Scots were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins from new shirts.
58 Scots are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers.
31 Scots have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while thefairy lights were plugged in.
19 Scots have died in the last 3 years believing that Christmas decorationswere chocolate.
Scottish Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after Xmas cracker-pullingaccidents.
18 Scots had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarettein their mouth.
A massive 543 Scots were admitted to A&E in the last two years aftertrying to open bottles of beer with their teeth.
5 Scots were injured last year in accidents involving out-of-control Scalextriccars.
and finally...
In 2000 eight Scots were admitted to hospital with fractured skulls incurredwhilst throwing up into the toilet.
If you're proud to be a Scot, or like just to laugh send this on!
SCOTLAND - Love it, or Leave it
