last night at an andy m. stewart concert he sang wi' gallant murray in the first half of the show....well during the break a couple of women were talking to him...asking why the soldiers in the song put a white rose in their bottom...he went huh? what song is this? you know the one where they put a white rose in the bottom...why did they? he went on to say that a white rose was a symbol of the jacobites...but still he was clueless on what they were on about..then it dawned...he said oh it's not bottom...it's BON-NET...the poor ladies started cracking up more...and they said they were picturing a bunch of kilted lads bending over to show white roses sticking out of they're butts waving in the wind...
