A Seasonal Joke For Our Scottish Friends
« on: January 24, 2007, 18:37:19 PM »
A hospital executive was giving a guided tour of a new wing to a local authority health chief. They walked onto a brand new ward, floor gleaming and all the latest technology to hand. The local health bod walks to the first bed bay to make conversation with a patient and gauge their reaction to the new wing.

"Hello, I'm from the LHA and would be interested to hear your thoughts about this brand new hospital facility"

The patient looks up from a bok and says,

"What was I, or my generation,
That I should get sic exaltation?
I, wha deserv'd most just damnation
For broken laws,
Sax thousand years ere my creation,
Thro Adam's cause!"

Somewhat puzzled by the patients reaction to the question the health exec walks down to the next bed bay.

Again he said,

"Hello, I'm from the LHA and would be interested to hear your thoughts about this brand new hospital facility"

The patient who was until then just staring into space looked at him sharply and said,

"O ye, wha are sae guid yoursel,
Sae pious and sae holy,
Ye've nought to do but mark and tell
Your neebours' fauts and folly!
Whase life is like a weel-gaun mill,
Supplied wi store o water;
"

By now the health exec is becomming a little disturbed by this but decides to give it one last chance and makes his way over to another bed bay.

"Hello, I'm from the LHA and would be interested to hear your thoughts about this brand new hospital facility"

"Is there for honest poverty
That hings his head, an a' that?
The coward slave, we pass him by -
We dare be poor for a' that!"

Replied the patient. The health exec has had enough by now and walks back towards the hospital exec.

"I see this is a mental ward then" said the health authority bod.

"No, this is the serious burns unit" Replied the hospital exec ;D
