When God created Scotland, he looked down with satisfaction. He called the Archangel Gabriel over. "Look," said God, "This is my best yet. Splendid mountains and rivers, beautiful scenery, brave men, fine women, cool weather, beautiful music and I've given them a special drink called whisky -- try some."
Gabriel took a sip. "Excellent. But haven't you been too kind to the Scots?"
God replied, "Not really. Wait until you see the neighbors they're getting."
