The third gentleman was from Scotland.

Every single time he said something, I said, "Excuse me?, and I looked to the gentleman from England to translate. I literally couldn't understand a word he said!

By the time my wife showed up, we were roaring with laughter at the insanity of our being separated by a common language, and my wife commented that she could hear us all the way down the hall...

When she asked what we were laughing about, I simply asked the Scotsman to say something. She said, "Excuse me?" Which sent us into another fit of laughter...

I am sure you will find this funny
