More about Scottish Humor

The funniest jokes are those that Scottish people tell about themselves. Listen to one of them.

A Scottish gentleman was spending his holiday in Vienna. The town was very beautiful, and his guide was a very beautiful young lady too. She was his guide in the town and in the country. "I will have the best memories of her," he thought. Before he left, he decided to give her a present to thank her for her kindness. He wanted to be sure that the present was something she liked, so he asked her what presents she liked best of all.

"You know very well," she said, "that I like to look beautiful and wear beautiful things. Give me something for my neck, my ears, or my fingers!"

Next morning, the Scottish gentleman appeared with a present — a diamond ring? A golden bracelet? — No, a piece of soap!
