From the September 12, 2014, Chicago Tribune by David Martin.
Appropriate today because of the referendum for Scottish independence occurring right now as I type. Polls predict a close vote. "But the English shouldn't be pessimistic about Scottish independence given all the positive results it will bring such as:"
NO MORE BAGPIPES: "the sound of a dozen squirrels being tortured."
NO MORE SCOTTISH CINEMA: "Can anyone understand what the actors are saying in Scottish films?"
NO MORE ENGLISHMEN WEARING KILTS:"They say it's a manly, but it just seems like an excuse to engage in cross-dressing."
NO MORE SCOTCH WHISKY: Because the Scots are your friends and neighbors, you had to act like the stuff was special and actually tasted good."
NO MORE LOCH NESS MONSTER: "For all those years you had to humor the Scots and give some credence to their mythical monster. Let's face it: It's nothing more than an elaborate ruse to entice tourists to visit a land with nothing much else to see."
These are pretty funny.
And, there Are More. --RoadDog
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
