OK... I freely admit that the "kernel" of this one is so subtle, that I
*barely* "got it"... :)
OTOH... Being a "mongrel" myself, I have a hard time understanding the
impact of "obvious" dividing lines (hook-y noses, kinky hair, slanty
eyes, thick-y lips), so a Scot-Eng hatred is waaay beyond my limited
comprehension <g>
Am forwarding in the course of furthering better understanding among
the not-so-different folk...
From: D.C.
Three men are sitting in the maternity ward of a hospital waiting for
the imminent birth of their respective children. One's an Englishman,
one a Scotsman and the other a Jamaican. They are all very nervous and
pacing the floor. All of a sudden the doctor bursts through the double
doors saying "Gentlemen you won't believe this but your wives have all
had their babies within 5 minutes of each other."
The men are beside themselves with happiness and joy. "And", says the
doctor, "They have all had little boys."
The fathers are ecstatic and congratulate each other over and over.
"However, we do have one slight problem," the doctor says. "In all the
confusion we may have mixed the babies up getting them to the nursery
and would be grateful if you could join us there to try and help
identify them."
With that the Scotsman raced past the doctor and bolted to the nursery.
Once inside,
he picked up a dark skinned infant with dreadlocks saying, "There's no
doubt about it, this boy is mine!"
The doctor looked bewildered and said, "Well sir, of all the babies, I
would have thought that maybe this child could be of Jamaican descent."
"True", said the Scotsman, "but one of the other two is English and I'm
not taking the risk."
