Hamish and his wife Fiona go to the Highland Games every year, and every year Hamish would say, " Fiona I'd like to ride in that helicopter " Fiona always replied, " I know Hamish , but that helicopter ride is fifty bucks, And fifty bucks is fifty bucks! "
One year Hamish and Fiona went to the fair, and Hamish said, " Fiona, I'm 75 years old. If I don't ride that helicopter, I might never get another chance "To this, Fiona replied, " Hamish, that helicopter ride is fifty bucks, and fifty bucks is fifty bucks "
The pilot overheard the couple and said, " Folks I'll make you a deal. I'll take the both of you for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and don't say a word I won't charge you a penny! But if you say one word it's fifty dollars. " Hamish and Fiona agreed and up they went.

The pilot did all kinds of fancy manoeuvres, but not a word was heard. He did his daredevil tricks over and over again, But still not a word... When they landed, the pilot turned to Hamish and said, " By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn't. I'm impressed! "

Hamish replied, " Well, to tell you the truth I almost said something when Fiona fell out, But you know, Fifty bucks is fifty bucks!"

Biology Class - final exam

Students in an advanced Biology class in Glasgow were taking their mid-term exam.

The last question was, 'Name seven advantages of Mother's Milk,' worth 70 points or none at all.

Wee Hamish, was hard put to think of seven advantages.

He wrote:

1.) It is perfect formula for the child.

2.) It provides immunity against several diseases.

3.) It is always the right temperature.

4.) It is inexpensive.

5.) It bonds the child to mother, and vice versa.

6.) It is always available as needed.

And then, Hamish was stuck. Finally, in desperation, just before the bell rang

Indicating the end of the test, he wrote...

7.) It comes in 2 cute containers.

Note: He got an A.

A Minister, a Doctor, a wealthy businessman and a Scotsman were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers in front of them.

The Doctor shouted, "I have never seen such poor golfers!"

The Scotsman chimed, "Och aye, We ha' been waitin' forever!"

The Businessman chipped in, "Move it on you guys!"

The Minister said, " Here comes George the greens-keeper. Let's have a word with him. Hello George!" said the Minister. "What's wrong with that annoying group ahead of us? They're rather slow, aren't they?"

George the greens-keeper replied, "Oh yes, that's a group of blind fire fighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year; so we always let them play for free anytime they want to." The group fell into an embarrassed silence for a moment.

Then the Minister said, "That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight."

The Doctor commented, "Good idea. I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist colleagues and see if there's anything they can do for them."

The Businessman said, "I think I will donate $250,000 to the Fire Service benevolent fund in honour of these brave souls."

Finally the Scotsman exclaimed, "Why can't they play at night?!"

A man in Scotland calls his son in London the day before Christmas Eve and says, I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your Mother
and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough.
'Dad, what are you talking about?' the son screams.
'We can't stand the sight of each other any longer,' the father says. 'We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Leeds and tell her.'
Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone.
'No-way they're getting divorced,' she shouts, 'I'll take care of this.'
She calls Scotland immediately, and screams at her father, 'You are NOT getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?' and hangs up.
The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. 'Okay,' he says, 'they're coming for Christmas - and they're paying their own way.'
