SCOTLAND !

Scotland is voting on succeeding from Great Britain.
If they do Britain might have to change it's flag.
Having the crosses of Scotland, Ireland and England.
Scotland has a 'gourmet' food item called Haggis.
In fact the national dish of Scotland is Haggis.
They sew sheep innards inside a sheep stomach,
discarded lungs, hearts and liver all minced up.
along with yummy suet, oatmeal, herbs and spices.
Once stitched up, the stuffed stomach is then boiled
for up to three hours to make it an eatable 'treat'.
Another interesting thing about Scotland is they
have the musical instrument called the bagpipes.
Creates a noise like finger nails on a black board.
What's even stranger is that the bagpipe player
is almost always wearing a skirt while playing it.
The skirt or kilt is made of wool and it's customary
for the player to not wear any under garments.
One thing Scotland has to it's benefit is Scotch.
A rather harsh alcoholic drink that I believe is
the main reason the people talk in a brogue that
is almost impossible to understand when spoken.
Will Scotland's vote be yes or no tomorrow?
One can only hope . . .
