I went to the pub the other night. There were three rather hefty ladies having a rowdy good time. Their accent appeared to be Scottish so I approached and asked, ""Hello ladies, are you three lassies from Scotland?"" One of them angrily screeched, ""It's Wales you bloody idiot, Wales!"" So I apologized and replied, ""I'm terribly sorry. Are you three whales from Scotland?"" PS: Probably an oldie but I just heard it recently.
