The Joke's on us!

Compiled by Dave Johnston

A new doctor is being shown around a Scottish hospital. As they enter one ward, the nearest patient turns to him and says: 

"Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face, Great Chieftain o' the Puddin-race!" 

Before the doctor can react, the patient in the next bed adds "Wee sleekit cowerin' timorous beastie! O what a panic's in thy breastie!"

And not to be outdone, the third patient responds "Some ha' meat and cannae eat, and some wad eat that want it!"

The doctor asks the orderly if it's the mental health ward. The orderly replies, "Och no! ...it's the Serious Burns Unit!"
