Scotland—A Proud Nation?? Hail Caledonia..

A SATIRICAL ANECDOTE

I composed this little bit of satire some time ago, having viewed Jock Campbell’s comment on the
Global Bank link; regarding the prompting of people to be “THRIFTY” this Xmas.There is a world of
Difference in the two terms “Thriftiness” and “Meanness”. I feel sure all my intelligent friends will deduce
The connection I infer between Jock’s message and my anecdote.

A Scotsman, Irishman, Welshman and an Englishman, were asked to answer the following question:-

Name The Odd One Out?

1. The Scots are “MEAN”!

2. .The Irish are “THICK”!

3. The Welsh are “DOUR”!

4. The English are “ARROGANT”!

The contestants were unanimous in their decision, in choosing No4 as the exception. However their

reasoning differed.

The Scot, The Irishman and the Welshman quoted No.4 as the only definition to be true.

The Englishman quoted No.4 as the only one to be untrue.
