A Welshman or a Scotsman

A certain political appointment once lay between a Welsh and a Scottish M.P.

An Englishman was asked who he thought should get the job.

'Well,' he replied, 'if we get the Welshman he'll pray on his knees on Sundays and on his neighbours the rest of the week.

If we get the Scotsman we'll keep the Sabbath and anything else he can lay his hands on.'
