Is Scottish humour becoming fashionable? First we had the three year old wee girl from Glagow talking about the Easter Bunny. The she pops up again on TV this week commenting on the UK Elections. This morning, Facebook recycled the hilarious video about the Voice Recognition lift which didn't understand the Scottish accent. Here's a link to YouTube if you missed it.
When Billy Connolly was asked to explain the Scottish sense of humour, he offered the following joke.
A miner died down the pit and the foreman was sent to give his wife the bad news. He knocked on the door and, when a woman opened it, he said, "Are you the widow MacGregor?"
"Ma name's MacGregor, but ah'm no' a widow," she replied.
"Oh, aye," said the foreman. "Huv Ah got news fur you."
Finally, here's a little photo which captures the self-deprecating element which permeates so much of the humour of Scotland.
