A chemist's shop in Edinborough just below the Castle.

Enter an RSM in kilted splendour.

"Can ye repair condoms, mon?"

"Aye, I can". The RSM produces a red morocco case, with Regemental Badge in gold, from his sporran and hands it reverently to the chemist.

Chemist opens the case and examines the battered condom, "I'll do it for a fourpenny piece". (this was long ago)

RSM "Ye were in the Regement !"

Chemist."Ah weel, three pence, three farthings".

RSM "I bid ye 'Good Day'."

Three days later the RSM enters the shop,

"I've guid news fer ye mon,th' Regement accep's yer tender'.

Sorry guys, someone is going to have to explain this one to me.

being Scots by ancestry, at least, may give me insight.

The RSM is the represntative of the entire regiment, presenting the regiments communal condom for repair. His second visit to the chemist is not to retrieve the repaired prophylactic, but to inform the Chemist that the regiment has accepted the proprosed fee.

If I am not mistaken, this is a jab at the Scotish tendency towards being a bunch of penny pinchers who would rather share a repaired condom rather than

1. buy a new one

2. buy one for each member of the regiment.

Three months and one week later, almost to the day, the RSM enters the Chemist's shop.

"IT BURSTED".
