Here are some humor that i have found on the net.
Ian Robertson and the Malt Whisky
On BBC Radio 5 Live, Will heard Ian Robertson* recount this true tale.
When England were in Scotland to play the Calcutta Cup it is always difficult to find somewhere to stay and impossible to book a table in any restaurant. This particular year Ian was entertaining some journalists and former players before the ‘big match’. He knew of a small place just outside Edinburgh to which he hadn’t been for more than 30 years.
On arrival at the pub he was greeted by the owner who said, ‘How marvelous to see you again, Mr. Robertson. I imagine you have come to pay the 1s/6d [approx. 8p] you owe us for the single malt whisky you drank when you were last here and forgot to pay for?’
*Note: Ian Robertson was former Scotland Rugby Union International; BBC Rugby commentator and correspondent. Interestingly Ian was also a former English teacher to Tony Blair at Fêtes College, Edinburgh.

Teflon Hands
In my opinion, the Welsh rugby crowd is masters of coining nicknames. In the 1980’s Cardiff had a player called Gerald Cordle playing on the wing. He went through a bad patch, dropping pass after pass with the try line at his mercy. They took to calling him Teflon, because he had non-stick hands.
