Outsider or collaborator?

[Panache]

Grant has an idea for a joke!

I understand your dilemma. I'm English born. The only Scottish blood in my family is the dried stuff on the ancestral sword*! ]

Somewhere deep in the dark recesses in Grant's brain the small tiny remaining functional part of his cerebral cortex desperately tries to fire off a warning that this particular joke may not be in the best taste among the many members of X Marks the Scot who are proud of their Scottish Heritage. The small bit grey matter sends out signal after signal to the rest of the brain suggesting that condensing centuries of hard feelings and shed blood for the sake of a joke is not prudent. Sadly, and yet again, the small piece of working brain is ignored.

Grant begins to type.

The small tiny remaining functional part of Grant's cerebral cortex sighs.

Grant has another idea for a funny thought

* I've been dying to use this one. Thanks for the opportunity.

The small tiny remaining functional part of Grant's cerebral cortex wonders if he is going to get his wish?
