     I have seen a lot of shouting back and forth on this subject, and
something that just occurred to me is this: Why are there no Scotspeople
getting upset? Why is it that everyone seems to tolerate jokes/riddles
that portray the Scottish as bestial, close-minded tight-wads who wear
skirts and would murder someone in return for having to pay for a meal?

   What if the punch line had been "Scottish ventriloquist found ... in alley."

     I do realize that Jewish people have been persecuted for a LONG
time; it would probably be difficult to find some group that has not
been persecuted at some point.

     I'm sure I'll be called racist because of this article...
