[Bryn-gwlad] Angles (was Re: Persona -Candlemas)

[Sir Lyonel Oliver Grace]

Salut cozyns,

Maybe I'm missing something essentially Scottish in the humor, but couldn't 
this joke work with any country that has sheep and trains? I mean, isn't 
this essentially the same joke:

An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician were riding in a train
in Afghanistan, when out the window they saw a black sheep.

Said the engineer, "The sheep in Afghanistan are black."

Said the physicist, "Some of the sheep in Afghanistan are black."

Said the mathematician, "At least one sheep in Afghanistan is black on at
least one side."

(I thought about substituting Wyoming, but I didn't want to turn this 
innocent joke into ribaldry.)

En Lyonel
