Many years after the end of WWII, a Japanese soldier emerged
from the Malaysian jungle and was duly flown home to be reunited
with his wife.

After an emotional re-union, with much ritual bowing, he asked,
'Honourable wife, have you been faithful to me ?'

"Honourable husband, I have indeed been faithful"

'Honourable wife, I think you lie. I have heard you've been living
with a Gordon Highlander from Inverurie'

"Fa tellt ye that ?", she demanded.
That is really very funny Josiah. You have certainly brightened
up my Tuesday evening.
Here's one for Thursday then !
NB I'm not going to make a habit of this !

In the bar of The Tufted Duck Hotel in St Coombs, Fraserburgh.

The Doric barmaid asks two visitors from somewhere south of
Watford, "Fit are you boys ha'en then ?"

'Do you have any real ale ?'

"Ahinny"

'Good, we'll have two small whiskies and two halves of the Ahinny'
Once an insurance claims adjuster traveled up to Aberdeen to settle a life insurance claim. He me with a local assistant and proceeded to the coroners office. The local assistant asked him "Fa dee dee dee o?", the claims adjuster was shocked and admonished his assistant "this is the coroner, an educated man, speak properly to him", so the assistant said "O fa dee dee dee?".

I don't get it. What's a Coroner doing in Aberdeen ?
He was on holiday visiting his son who works for BP.

Oh! ;-) [but why has he taken the office on holiday with him?....]

<Patiently> That's how telecommuting works, your office is your laptop and cell phone <rolls eyes> I thought you had some sort of an edjercation.


Wouldn't the correct question be, why would an Edinburgh insurance claim adjuster hire an Aberdonian assistant?

They're both in on the same fiddle ?
