The Scott in NYC

A Scottish mother was visiting her son in his New York City apartment and asked, “How do you find the Americans, Donald?”

“They are such noisy people, Mother,” explained Donald. “One neighbor won’t stop banging his head against the wall, while the other screams and screams all night long.”

“Oh, Donald!” exclaimed his mother. “How ever do you manage to put up with them?”

“What can I do?” said Donald shaking his head. “I just quietly lie in bed while playing me bagpipes.”
