An 80 year old Scotman
I just received this by email today. Hopefully it hasn't been posted before.
An 80-year-old Scotsman went to the doctor for a check-up. The
doctor was amazed at what good shape the old fellow was in and
asked: 'How do you stay in such great physical condition?'
'I am Scottish and I am a bagpiper,' said the old fellow: 'and
that is why I am in such good shape. I am up well before
daylight and out practicing my pipes. I have a wee
glass of whisky, and that's it.'
'Well,' said the doctor, 'I am sure that helps, but there has to
be more to it. How old was your Dad when he died?'
'Who said my Dad died?'
The doctor was amazed. 'You mean you are 80 years old and your
Dad is still alive? How old is he?'
He is 100 years old and a piper too,' said the old Scot. 'In fact he practiced wi' me this mornin', and then we went to the nude
beach for a walk and had anither wee dram and that is why he is
still alive.
'Well,' the doctor said, 'that is great, but I am sure there is
more to it than that. How about your Dad's Dad? How old was he
when he died?'
'Who said my Grandad is dead?'
Stunned, the doctor asked, 'You mean you are 80 years old and
your grandfather is still living! Incredible, how old is he?'
'He is 118 years old and a piper as well,' said the old Scot.
The doctor was getting frustrated at this point:
'So, I guess he practiced with you this morning too?'
'No. Grandad couldnae play this mornin' because he is getting
married today'
At this point the doctor was close to losing it. 'Getting
married!! Why would a 118 year-old piper want to get married?'
'Who said he wanted to?'

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

That's a cute one, but I've seen it in a different kilt, so to speak.
I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.
