<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Honolulu Dick, post: 1005893, member: 24745&quot;]No need to fret about offending Scotsman&#039;s feelings.&nbsp; Feelings are a luxury, and they are known to be too thrifty to afford any.&nbsp; In fact, during WW II, RAF pilots knew when their bombing mission was successful and they were safely home.&nbsp; All they had to do was look out the window and down, and they saw toilet paper drying on clotheslines.&nbsp; Then they knew they were over Scotland.&nbsp; How thrifty is that???</p><p><br /></p><p>To preclude misunderstanding, this was a popular joke during WW II.&nbsp; As a child, I recall many jokes being told about any and all national groups.&nbsp; Being of German heritage, my family was the target of the worst.&nbsp; We weren&#039;t offended and responded by telling one funnier than the one directed towards us.&nbsp; It was war time, everyone contributed something, everyone innovated to overcome shortages and we thrived on the harsh humor that resulted from a difficult situation.&nbsp; It bound us together, making us tougher, wiser and better Americans.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
