No true Scotsman (variation)

Post by Harbal »

No true Scotsman would wear underpants under his kilt.

Would anyone like to open the debate in support of the proposition?

After which, I will be taking names for arguments against the proposition.

If I might suggest one or two factors speakers may consider incorporating into their arguments: 1. The Scottish climate. 2. The tendency of Scotsmen to have red hair.

It's true, the main reason is ventilation since it's traditional to only wash their scrotum once a year...this so that a fine film develops coating the inside of the kilt, prior to their kilts being turned into bagpipes.

Ah! So that's why the bagpipes sound like someone having their bollocks squeezed. Yes, it's all starting to make sense.

If only some kilt-wearing Scotsmen are true scotsmen, I'd hate to be the one telling the difference.

Yes, someone once told me he thought there was a cat being squeezed in the bag, but as we both know it's balls...not pussy.
