No, it's more complicated than that.
Haggis jokes turn on asymmetry, sure. But ...
Lesser Spotted Greater Spotted, etc ...
Your basic Haggis has two wee short legs on the left and runs round the hill
widdershins..
They meet other Haggi running round wi shorts-on-the-right (there's an
argument on the Correct Plural on this ...) and they mate ...
No problem. (Other than kilted heilandmen trying tae harvest them for
Burns' suppers,)
But you switch to the Greater Spotted ... Short front legs, climb the hill
and die.
Darwinian selection.
No wonder the Greater Spotted Haggis is a Dying Breed.
Hey, Joanna, I once trawled the Web for Haggis jokes, and discovered to my
amazement that I had had more in my head than there are on the Web.
Unnerving.
I'm +good+ (not often this happens) at Haggis jokes. Better than most.
meep?
