    I recently had some cancer tests. I had both a colonoscopy and a gastroscopy, one after the other. Remembering Billy’s joke I said “ Could I have the gastroscopy first ? - Or if not, would you at least wipe the endoscope after the colonoscopy ?”
    The hospital staff hadn’t heard the wire brush and Dettol joke and they fell about laughing ! It lightened the mood for me at a tough time.

    I thought it was going to be the joke about the Queen's Scottish hospital visit. As she goes along a row of beds and speaks to the patients, all each of them does is recite of verse of "address to the haggis", which begins
    "Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
    Great chieftain o' the puddin'-race!
    Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
    Painch, tripe, or thairm:
    Weel are ye wordy o'a grace
    As lang's my arm".
    As she leaves the ward she says to the doctor, so this is the psychiatric unit? Nae maam, he replies. Tis the serious Burns unit.

      @rogeredwarddeshon5000. Too late asking Billy to draw the line at using the F word followed by God, as he has been lambasting God and religion throughout his career using the F word freely. It's not done to get a laugh, as Billy has been swearing most of his life. For me it's not in bad taste as I don't believe in gods, devils,angels etc. And if you're a christian that's your problem.
