a joke

Tony Blair is visiting an Edinburgh hospital. He enters a ward full of patients with no obvious signs of illness and greets one. The patient replies "Fair fa your honest sonsie face, Great cheiftain o'the pudding race. Aboon them a'you take your place painch, tripe or thairm, as langs ma airm"

Blair is confused, so he just grins and moves along to the next patient. The patient responds: "some hae meat and canna eat, and some wad eat that want it,. But we hae meat and we can eat, so let the lord be thankit"

Even more confused, the PM moves on to the next patient, who immediately begins to chant "Wee sleekit, cowerin, tim'rous beasty. Thou needna start awa sae hastie, wi bickering brattle"

Now seriously troubled Blair turns to the accompanying Doctor and asks " what kind of facility is this? A mental ward?". "No", replies the doctor. " This is the serious burns unit!!"
