Given the above successes I'm hoping someone can help with a request for one very specific joke's punchline involving that island to the west of Scotland (there, I"m still on topic [wink]). I heard the joke told by Dave Allen and know the setup but not the punchline which, amaziningly enough, in the last 15 years nobody has come up with.

Briefly, it deals with a man looking for "The Great O'Toole, stongest man in all the world". Walking along the road, he sees a man driving fence posts into the ground with his bare hands. "Ah, you must be The Great O'Toole!" "No, sor, Oi'm not him. He's much stronger." This can be dragged out as long as it takes to re-tune or change a string with people squeezing water out of rocks, etc. But I have no clue as to how this joke ends!

Scottish humor: "Dark, Dry and (one hopes) witty"

Angus Campbell is sitting up with his wife who's feeling very poorly indeed. In fact, it's clear she'll not see the next week. Now Campbell is a very thrifty man and sees no need for electric lights, using only candles in the house. After a couple of days of tending his wife, a letter arrives. Campbell gets up, puts on his traveling clothes and says, "I've business in Glasgow that canna wait. If ye feel yerself slippin' away, blow out the candles first."

Cheers, Rick
