[SOC] PM visits hospital

[Lloyd Lachow]

Tony Blair is visiting an Edinburgh hospital. He 
enters a ward full of
patients with no obvious sign of injury or illness and

greets one. The
patient replies:
 "Fair fa your honest sonsie face,
 Great chieftain o' the puddin race,
 Aboon them a you take your place,
 Painch, tripe or thairm,
 As langs my airm."
 Blair is confused, so he just grins and moves on to 
the next patient.
 The patient responds:
 "Some hae meat and canna eat,
 And some wad eat that want it,
 But we hae meat and we can eat,
 So let the Lord be thankit."
 Even more confused, and his grin now rictus-like, the

PM moves on to
 the next patient, who immediately begins to chant: 
"We sleekit,
cowerin,  timrous beasty, Thou needna start awa sae
hastie, Wi bickering brattle."  Now seriously 
troubled, Blair turns to
the accompanying doctor and asks  "What kind of
facility is this? A mental ward?"
 "No", replies the doctor. "This is the serious Burns 
unit."
