A very good reason for making sure that pregnant women from the
Scottish side of the border don't go to Carlisle to have their
maleborns delivered in England. Not only would it lessen their
entitlement to a Scottish passport, the short trip down the M6 will
significantly diminish their external plumbing.
It also instantly solves all the problems of jkwill's checklist for
nationality - when I go for my Scottish passport I'll simply drop my
trousers, and show them "Ruaraidh Beag" (but not if it's a cold day...).
Now is there any similar foolproof study for the fairer sex?
How about :
I saw an article from a survey that proved that Scottish women had
significantly sharper tongues than English women, or most other women
in Europe. Does anyone believe a word of this nonsense?

If one were to consider the average life span of a Scot and devided that
by the inches it would appear you have atleast 13 more happy years, the
average being a period of 12 years as a rule, but with the viagra etc.
the study is still consolidating facts as to function, durabilty,
performance standards etc.
As for the English pinicle of profonafication it appears that in or
about 1066 it was found that the "habbit" of religose circumscission had
to be altered, by an edict from the Papal Seed, which can be seen in
the following extract from Pope Gregory translated from the original
latin intitled, "Circumsisattum headaose Brittanicas," which reads, " If
one attempts to circumsize the English one must use decapitation because
they appear to be pricks from head to toe." "A limups pricktarias
volontary later to be medically defined as Limpus Dickus Nationalis." A
condition first seen by Hadrian whilst building the great wall which
carries his name, to keep out the Scots. The great man in a letter to
Rome describing the Scots wrote. "Enmasses das Scotti bare asses runicus
in kiltas showoffitic Williecus giganticus to a manicas every bugeris
ofas themas. Scaricus the Britanicus shitlessicus by sizum of Willieum
flappicus inacis the breezeicus." Also noted in the dispatch to Rome was
the comment," Phalexicus Giganticus viewelded as a spearicus erectus."
William The Conqueror, or Willie the Conk as he was affectionately
called commented on the English forces as "Les tapet avec les mans des
fluer. " The fee fee's with limp wrists like flowers, and with a name
like Willie Conceror one would surmise he had some expertise on the
subject.

Oh, but it's such a fun topic. Let's try to reproduce the results of
this...study. First we'll need a panel of judges. Then we'll need a
nice sampling of penii. I suggest the following categories.
1. The Scots
2. The Irish
3. The Welsh
4. The English
5. Everyone Else
It might also be worth looking into whether or not geographical
relocation causes a measurable difference in size. For example, what
about an Englishman living in Scotland? A Scot living in England?
Expats? Georgians? These are questions that beg to be answered once
and for all!
I have applied for a grant to fund this study. Openings available
immediately for subjects. Judges, queue up a line.

As I mentioned before, I am a trained professional, Registered Nurse, that

for another study of this nature, if we can't find the research on the above
mentioned. Or even if we can. This sort of research is very tedious and time
consuming, however, it is also one of the best ways to really see which head
the subject really uses for intellectual purposes. I theorize that the
Englishman probably uses the smaller of the two and the Scotsman undoubtedly
uses which ever is receiving the most blood flow at any given moment ( the
priapus equation). So, Jill, Sandy, Duchess and any of you other "Female

They probably studied the Scots on the coldest day in the winter and the
English on the warmest day of summer. Everyone knows that part of the male
anatomy tends to preserve itself from the cold and the drafts under those
kilts after waiting a couple of hours outside before the measurement was
taken would have created a statistical incorrect result.
Those English will resort to all types of tricks.

I know of only two incidents involving sheep. One was a story by my
uncle who sat on a court martial involving an incident between a sheep
and a soldier in the Shetlands during the war. He said that afterwards
you could guarantee a serious assault by this man, simply by saying
"Mehhhh!" in his presence.
The second was when I noticed some Army cooks on a hillside chasing a
sheep into a wood and asked a sergeant what they doing. He gave me a
knowing leer and a wink, not a particularly respectful response, so I
sent him puffing up the hill to fetch the cooks down to explain to me
why they were interfering with the local livestock. They said they
thought it would be a nice treat for the men to have mutton stew. I
stalked around them silently for two minutes before asking if they'd
like to reconsider their story which, if it were the one they planned
to stick to, would result in them being charged with attempted theft.
They finally admitted what their intentions had been. I gave them
forty-eight hours guard duty for lying to me; any appeals to be
directed to the colonel who was not noted for a compassionate interest
in bestialty; hands to be thoroughly scrubbed before touching food
again; any further sheep-chasing activity to be investigated by a
court martial. Filthy bastards.
However, I do admire the wit of the young man recently featured in the
news who was driving home late one night in the southern States and
decided as he had had no success with humans, to get his rocks off
with a particularly squishy pumpkin.
While thusly engaged, he was approached by a policewoman who asked him
to explain his activities. In a brilliant riposte for a man in his
position, he looked at his watch and said, "Good heavens, is it
midnight already?" The policewoman said she had to laugh, but she
still busted him.
If the cooks had come up with an answer like that, I'd have let them
go.

I can't recall but the author, a lady, was seated next to a friend of
mine on a long haul flight and they fell to discussing the matter.
On being informed that the Scots were the best endowed, he asked who
were next in line and was told that native Americans were in second
place.
He subsequently took the name of Cochise Mackenzie.

I'm no smoothie - I'm as rough as two unplaned planks of wood.
Army cooks are a curious subculture. Some are genuinely interested in
the trade and really try - indeed, one of the finest meals I ever ate
was at the end of a night on exercises when it was pissing down and
misty to boot, and I stumbled into a cook with a potful of beef stew
simmering, waiting for people like me to find him.
The more I ate, the more gratified he was - he kept topping up my bowl
and thrusting chunks of fresh-baked bread into my hand. When I really
could eat not one more drip of gravy, I wrung his God-given cooking
hand and told him to come and see me back at camp and I'd put him in
for promotion.
I kept my word too; good men should be raised up above us ordinary
mortals and this man had just saved my life and given my tastebuds one
of the finest treats of their lives! His new sergeant's stripes looked
fine on him and I'll bet the extra pay went down well too. Corporal
Scorah as was; Sergeant Scorah when my recommendation was approved; my
accompanying paperwork read like the Song of Solomon. I never saw the
name before or since, but I'll not forget him soon. I'm partial to a
man who knows his way around a kettle and 40 lbs of beef; troops, for
the use of, as Army parlance has it.
Then there are cooks who I honestly believe join the Army Catering
Corps because they know they won't be asked to fight unless we're down
to our last man.
They're the ones who produce the endless trays of congealed fried eggs
- if you've been in the British Army, I need say no more; you know
what I'm talking about. They're the ones who know that if you boil a
vegetable for an hour there's no way it can be raw.
And they're the ones who look hurt when you point out that their oven
is in imminent danger of being declared a World Heritage site as,
thanks to sloppy maintenance, it has become an archeological record of
all the meals that were ever cooked in it.
Soldiers, like ship cruise passengers, live for their grub. Bad grub
merits no excuses. A man might have joined the Army to escape a life
of crime, a slum or a dead-end job, but he came equipped with
tastebuds just like the other blokes, and if he was to believe he'd
done the right thing, he had to feel his new job was looking after him
when it came to his grub.
<God, I'm getting boring.>
And there would be no other way to find it.

Ah, but what a treat to see her try and your reaction.

This reminds me of an incodent recorded in the Melvieg Times Reporter,
June 22 1994. It seems there was a tour bus up from Glasgow that had
broken down and all the people were put up a local butnben, a small
crofters cottage. Well the local whisky flowe like water, the pipes were
played and the local villagers, all 30 of them turned out enmass to make
the strangers feel welcome. The constable came up from Gairloch to help
with the crowd controle as the population had doubled in size from the
30 up to 65 people and you know what these big city people can be like.
Well to make a short story long, it seems that after the festivities
were done and the people had all passed out in thier combined stupor,
Duncan The Bobby spied one of the visitors, a man called Jimmy, (a lot
of them were) was seen chasing one of the ewes across the fields. Scared
that the man would be caught up in a bog (like quick sand) Duncan The
Bobby gave chase. About a mile or so along the clif Duncan (The Bobby)
finally caught up with the man and to his great surprise the sheep was
standing quietly about 20 feet away. The man, Jimmy" had his manhood
inserted in a welly and as shocked as Duncan, (the Bobby) was he managed
to show his outrage at this lucidiouse act, ( and being from a town the
size of Gairloch Duncan had seen a lot of the seedier side of life) by
screamming, "My God Man what are chew do-h-ing?" the answer from the wee
tourist, " Ach man I'm just fucking a boot" :)

I once actually heard the Officer of the day use the famous words
whilst attempting to defuse a near riot regarding the food quality.
"Who called the cook a b*st*rd ?"
and received the expected chorused reply and laughter
"Who called the b*st*rd a cook ?"
Being REME and, like the cooks, only attached to the Royal Engineers,
we had a relationship with them and were always OK for rations.
Oh, the days !

See if you can get sworn affidavits - I need all the support I can
get!
It's nothing new - Chaucer wrote about a cook in the 1300s who had a
sore which he would pick at before handling food!

You really are out to get this guy. I am warning you now, his daughters
are to be watched out for.

Yea, wonder where it is.... hehehehe
Sandy
While attempting to get sworn affidavits from all participating all I
could get was a bunch of giggles. Perhaps you know what that means.

Later he brought me a lovely big ashet of stovies, and again there was thumb
stuck right in ma gravey. Oichin Oichin it was a terrible thing.
I was quite relieved to see his thumb had not entered ma jelly when he brought
it, but sickened when it appeared in ma coffee right after. Well I had had
enough so I confronted the rough. Listen you says I. Every time you have
brought me something hot to eat your bloody thumb has been stuck in it and I
want to know why.....
Well sir says the waiter. I was running out of the car this morning in an auful
rush to get to work, and I slammed my thiumb in the door. Well you see sir when
I went to the doctor he cold me to keep it in a warm place.
Well says I why don't you stick your thumb up your arse then and keep it out of
the food???
Oh sir that's where I keep it when I'm no serving says the waiter.
Dave
I thought that was what the wheelbarrow was for.
