For what it's worth, to clarify my previous posting. The joke is just another banjo player joke: What do you say to a banjo player wearing a three piece suit?

"Will the defendant please rise."

BC premier Glen Clark resigned in disgrace earlier this year (I think it was this year) because he was the subject of a very public police investigation of a peculiar coincidence--he helped a neighbour get a casino operators licence (which he shouldn't have done in the first place) and said neighbour subsequently did some renovations on Mr Clark's house at an extraordinarily reasonable rate. Mr. Clark is now a defendant, having been officially charged a few weeks ago.

But never mind that. Here's some Scottish national logic for you:

A Scotsman, an Englishman and a Frenchman were slated to die on the guillotine one day during the French REvolution. When they tried to execute the French and then the English prisoner, the guillotine malfunctioned; this was considered an act of God so the lucky bastards were freed. Then the Scotsman laid down, facing up towards the dreadful blade with an inquisitive look. Before the executioner could pull the lever, the prisoner shouted:
"Just hold on a minute there, laddie. I think I ken whut ye're doin' wrong!"
