A wee Glesca wumman goes intae a butchershop, where the butcher has just came oot
the freezer, and is staunin’ haunds ahint his back, wi’ his rear end aimed at an
electric fire.
                        The wee wumman checks oot the display case then asks, "Is
that yer
                        Ayrshire bacon?"

"Naw," replies the butcher. "Ah'm jist heatin'ma haun's..."

Tom, you passed on:

>  how's it hingin

For your information, the English equivalent can be heard used in North America
also (usually reserved for male company).  It just means the same as "How's it
going?" or "Whazzup?"

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron

P.S.: No "Lowlands-L" or "LL-L" in the subject line ... Tsk, tsk ...
