A man in the uniform of the Black Watch Highlanders walks into a pharmacy in London.
He loiters, pretending to look at the shelves, until there are no other customers.
He approaches the counter, and gets the attention of the pharmacist. Reaching into his sporran, he extracts a condom and places it on the counter.
Now he really has the druggist's attention.
The soldier asks; "How much mought it cost to hae' this rrrepairrred?"
The druggist, shocked, says; "You've GOT to be joking!"
"Nae, ser. Ahm Verrra serrrious!"
Using a tweezers, the druggist picks it up, holds it up to the light. It is battered and beat up. He tells the soldier; "There are three holes, four worm spots and a rip! Repairing this thing would cost more than buyinmg fresh! Throw it away!"
The soldier has been writing down the druggist's words. He says; "Ah'll be back."
An hour passes, then a second. Coming out from behind the counter to see if any shelves need restocking, the druggist sees that the Scotsman is in the phone booth in front of the store, listening intently to the handset. He goes back behind the counter.
An hour and a half later, the Highlander returns. Marching up to the counter with an air of firm purpose, he announces; "We've taken a poll of the rrregiment, and they've authorrrized me tae purrrchase a new one!"

We who play and dance are thought mad by they who hear no music.
