Had a funny thought but it drifted away! I hate when that happens and it seems to happen more often than it used to
 
Years ago while spending time on the gubment's dime in England, I had become accustomed to the native dialect (and could actually keep up with most conversations). One night, sitting in a pub I noticed two extremely large women who were quickly becoming soused. Wanting to be the good Yank and strike up a conversation, I noted a distinct difference in their accents. I politely turned to them and asked "Are you two ladies from Scotland?" They turned on me and screeched "Its Wales you moron!". Not being one to shy away form a perfect set-up, I calmly replied "I'm sorry. Are you two whales from Scotland?"

The next thing I knew I was picking myself up off the floor.....

My wife and I vacationed in the British Isles over 25 years ago. I was on the job back then. In order to get her work out of the way, she stayed up for about 48 hours before leaving home.

First stop, Scotland. While in Scotland, we met up with a Constable. He invited us to come over to his police station after he was off duty. Usually, in their stations the cops have their own private pub where they can go to socialize when off duty.

Which is what we did, despite my wife having not slept in about 72 hours. My wife did not partake in a drink. I had a couple of scotches with my pal and we were engrossed in conversation together. My wife leans in and whispers in my ear, "Does he speak any English?"
