Scots dare to bare under kilts
LONDON - The naked truth about what Scotsmen wear under their kilts has been revealed -- absolutely nothing.
Braving the chilly Scottish weather, seven out of 10 men follow tradition and go naked beneath the country's national dress, according to a survey on Friday.
"It is something to do with Scottish pride," said a spokeswoman for whisky maker The Famous Grouse, behind the poll of 800 men. "There is no way they would wear anything, even if it's freezing."
Highland tradition dictates men should wear nothing beneath their pleated skirts, in accordance with the punning saying: "Nothing is worn beneath the kilt -- it's all in perfect working order."
For those not brave enough to "go commando", the survey found boxer shorts with a tartan design were the second most popular choice.
Scotsmen have worn kilts for hundreds of years, shrugging off jibes from south of the border.
Kilt makers have moved with the times, recently unveiling a design with a pocket for a mobile phone.
Three wishes
An old lady is rocking away the last of her days on her front porch.
She is reflecting on her long life, when-all of a sudden-a fairy godmother appears and informs her that she will be granted three wishes.
"Well, now," says the old lady, "I've always wanted to be really rich." *** POOF ***
Her rocking chair turns to solid gold.
"And, gee, I guess I wouldn't mind being a young, beautiful princess." *** POOF ***
She turns into a beautiful young woman.
"And your third wish?" asked the fairy godmother.
Just then the old woman's cat wanders across the porch in front of them. "Ooh-can you change him into a handsome prince?" she asks. *** POOF***
There before her stands a young man, more handsome than anyone could possibly imagine.
She stares at him, smitten.
With a smile that makes her knees weak, he saunters across the porch and leans over close to her.
He whispers in her ear: "NOW I bet you're sorry you had me neutered..."
