Whats the difference between a rich scotsman, a poor scotsman and a dead scotsman?
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

A rich Scotsman has a canopy over his bed.

A poor Scotsman has a can-o-pee under his bed.

And a dead Scotsman canna pee at all.

You have a barrel of oil, and you need to measure out just one gallon. How do you do this if you only have a three-gallon container and a five-gallon container?

Tee Hee - glad someone got the Scotsman riddle!! :lol:

The oil one - fill the three gallon container and tip it into the five gallon. Fill the three again and tip two into the 5 and you are left with the one gallon you want.

What's the difference between the Prince of Wales, a bald headed man, an orphaned boy and a monkey's mother?

The answer to my riddle is;

The Prince of Wales is an heir apparent.

A bald headed man has no hair apparent.

An orphaned boy has no parent.

A monkey's mother is a hairy parent.
