Random joke attack!

This one's been sitting in my inbox for months, but I don't forward jokes much anymore, and it seemed a little short to post on its own... however, this seems like a good moment, so...

Tony Blair is visiting a hospital.

"How are you today?" he asks the old man in the first bed.

"Wee sleekit cow'rin' tim'rous beastie," screams the man at him, so he moves on.

"And how are you?" he asks the second patient.

"Some hae meat but cannae eat!" yells this one.

"Hmm," says Tony to the doctor. "Is this the psychiatric unit?"

"Naw - it's the Serious Burns Unit."

Oh say can you see (the microphone) . . .

I don't usually post cute-kid things, but this is really impressive. Five little girls (ages 8 - 13) singing the National Anthem . . . and doing an amazingly good job of it.
