So I was sitting outside with some new acquaintances in this beautiful garden west of Edinburgh. The sky all blue, the wind blowing everything away, and I was in deep thought when my attention was suddenly caught by someone speaking with a very distinct, Scottish accent.
Lady 1: I was at my GP today. You know what I read on her notice board? An article about angry people being more prone to having cancer.
Lady 2: (wide-eyed) Really?
Guy 1: That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
Lady 1: It absolutely makes a lot sense.
Guy 1: Nonsense!
Lady 2: (somewhat confused now.)
Lady 1: Well, it says in that article that when people are angry, their bodies tend to produce more toxins.
Guy 1: That's rubbish. Mother Theresa died of cancer. I don't think she's one hell of an angry person, was she?
Everybody fell in thoughtful silence. While I was trying to recall what caused Mother Theresa's death, I couldn't help but smile. This is Scotland, the land of the brave.
