Forgive and Forget
There's a Scotsman driving through Europe and an Englishman driving in the opposite direction. In the middle of the night, with no other cars on the road they hit each other head on and both cars go flying off in different directions.
The Scotsman manages to climb out of his car and survey the damages.
He looks at his twisted car and says, "Gosh, I am really lucky to be alive!"
Likewise, the Englishman scrambles out of his car and looks at his wreckage. He too says to himself, "I can't believe I survived this wreck!"
The Englishman walks over to the Scotsman and says, "You know, I think this is a sign from God that we should put away our petty differences and live as friends instead of such rivals.
"The Scotsman thinks for a moment and says, "You know, you're absolutely right!
We should be friends. Now I'm gonna see what else survived the wreck."
So, the Scotsman pops open his boot and finds a full unopened bottle of Whisky. He says to the English fella, "I think this is another sign from God that we toast to our new found understanding and friendship."
The Englishman says, "You're damn right!" and he grabs the bottle and starts sucking down the Whisky. After putting away nearly half the bottle, the Englishman hands it back to the Scotsman and says, "Your turn!"
The Scotsman twists the cap back on the bottle and says, "Nah, I think I'll wait for the police to show up."
