Subject: RE: Help: Scottish humor sought
I'm definitely not having that. So much of the finest entertainment we enjoy today evolved from the music hall tradition. As for jokes about kilts and tartan, well these phenomena are hardly archetypal Scottish in any case. Yes, we can try to draw a line between harmless, gentle ribbing and a more harsh, abrasive humour that puts us Into anti-Scottish attack mode. But let's not get too sensitive, eh? After all, you've parodied the Scots in one post in this thread with a caricature of what you see as their brand of spoken English. Not for the first time either.
