Same from me Dave, hope you're on the mend. I didn't know you weren't well.

Instead of a get well card here's a joke from an otherwise very serious book about Scottish mining communities. I may have told it before. The joke dates from the 1930s if I remember correctly. It is, of course, a sweary joke, so apologies for the profanities. I'm retelling it from memory:

A woman in Seafield was concerned about the profuse swearing of her two sons, both miners. One evening she confided in her husband, also a miner, who promised to address the problem.
Next morning the eldest son came into the scullery and his mother asked him what he wanted for breakfast.
"Fried fuckin' eggs Maw, that'll dae fur me. Five fried fuckin' eggs."
The father jumped up from his seat at the table and decked his son with a right hook.
The second son saw this as he came into the scullery and when his mother asked him what he wanted for breakfast he replied "Nae fuckin' eggs, that's fur sure. Toast, fuckin' toast is aw Ah want!"

This joke, older than me, is a fine example of sweary artfulness.
