I've worked in Wales and found them to be as decent a bunch of people as you'd meet anywhere in the world.
However, this one always makes me smile :
Dai is sitting on the hillside overlooking the bay feeling quite depressed.
A friend happens by and seeing his glum demeanor asks Dai what's the matter.
'Ah' he says. 'Do you see the little fishing boats down in the bay. I built more than half of them. But do they call me Dai the boat builder? No!'
'And the houses on the wharf. I've painted lots of them. but do they call me Dai the house painter? No!'
'And the fishing nets hanging along the quay. All my own work. but do they call me Dai the net maker? No!'
Then Dai turns and looks his friend in the eye and says earnestly 'I sh@g one single sheep......'

Well you know why the [b]Scots wear kilts don't you?
Sheep can hear zippers.[/b]
In Scotland an old man talking to a young man in a bar.
"Lad, look out there to the field. Do ya see that fence? Look how well it's built. I built that fence stone by stone with me own two hands. Piled it for months. But do they call me McGregor-the-Fence-Builder? Nooo.." Then the old man gestured at the bar.
"Look here at the bar. Do ya see how smooth and just it is? I planed that surface down by me own achin' back. I carved that wood with me own hard labour, for eight days. But do they call me McGregor-the-Bar-builder? Nooo..."
Then the old man points out the window. "Eh, Laddy, look out to sea. Do ya see that pier that stretches out as far as the eye can see? I built that pier with the sweat off me back. I nailed it board by board. But do they call me McGregor-the-Pier-Builder? Nooo..."
Then the old man looks around nervously, trying to make sure no one is paying attention. "But ya shag one goat . . . "
While we are on the subject;
The Ventriloquist
An Australian ventriloquist visiting New Zealand, walks into a small village and sees a local sitting on his porch patting his dog. He figures he'll have a little fun, so he says to the Kiwi "Can I talk to your dog?"
Villager: "The dog doesn't talk, you stupid Aussie."
Ventriloquist: "Hello dog, how's it going mate?"
Dog: "Doin' all right."
Villager: (look of extreme shock)
Ventriloquist: "Is this villager your owner?" (pointing at the villager)
Dog: "Yep"
Ventriloquist: "How does he treat you?"
Dog: "Real good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food and takes me to the lake once a week to play."
Villager: (look of utter disbelief)
Ventriloquist: "Mind if I talk to your horse?"
Villager: "Uh, the horse doesn't talk either....I think."
Ventriloquist: "Hey horse, how's it going?"
Horse: "Cool"
Villager: (absolutely dumbfounded)
Ventriloquist: "Is this your owner?" (pointing at the villager)
Horse: "Yep"
Ventriloquist: How does he treat you?
Horse: "Pretty good, thanks for asking. He rides me regularly brushes me down often and keeps me in the barn to protect me from the elements."
Villager: (total look of amazement)
Ventriloquist: "Mind if I talk to your sheep?"
Villager: (in a panic) "The sheep's a liar!"
