 In honour of the day!
An oldie but a goodie:
Prime Minister David Cameron was visiting an Edinburgh hospital. The Chief of Medicine proudly toured him through the surgery suites, the obstetrical and osteo wards, and was leading him down the hall when suddenly the P.M. was confronted by a patient in typical hospital gown who, leaning forward and waggling a finger in his face said, "Fair fa your honest sonsie face, Great chieftain o' the puddin race, Aboon them a you take your place, Painch, tripe or thairm, As langs my airm..." at which point Cameron backed away with a nervous smile.
He was immediately accosted by a second patient, similarly garbed who, with his chin in the air and a melancholy visage said to him: "Wee sleekit, cowerin, timrous beasty, Thou needna start awa sae hastie, Wi bickering brattle..." and Cameron, starting to look worried, stumbled up against the physician as he turned to see a third patient bearing down on him.
The third fellow with a look of compassionate bewilderment placed his hand on the prime minister's shoulder while sadly shaking his head slowly and saying: "Oh wad some power the giftie gie us, tae see oorsel's as ithers see us."
Cameron, now more than a little shaken, turned to the doctor and said "I take it this is one of your psych wards."
"Oh no," replied the physician. "This is our serious Burns ward."
Enjoy the day folks!

And with friends. 
I've found that most relationships work best when no one wears pants.
