God and the Devil were creating the world one day. They had come to an agreement that for every good thing, something bad would be created to give balance. God creates the swamps and wetlands to filter the water, the Devil gave us alligators and mosquitoes. The Devil created snakes and God turned them into the ultimate in rodent control...etc etc.
Everything was fine until they came to creating Scottland. First God created the islands...shining emerald green as a jewel in the north Atlantic. The devil said "That's nice...how are we going to balance that out?" God smiled and said "Patience."
Next God created the highlands. Beauty beyond compare, perfect for the raising of sheep and for inspiring poets and songwriters. The Devil said "Uhm...our deal? Balance?" And once again God said "Patience."
Finally God created single malt Scotch whiskey. Smooth as silk but capable of putting the fire back into your belly. The Devil flipped out. "How in the hell are we going to balance that? How CAN we balance all of that? You blew the deal! There is no way we CAN balance that!" And God smiled and said "Oh never you worry, just wait until you see the neighbors I'm giving them to the south."
