Welcome, and no doubt you've acclimated very quickly and easily , insofar as Atlanta's weather is so similar to home in Scotland, you probably did not even realize you moved :-) :-).
Ok, since you said you're not easily offended here's a story to make you a wee bit homesick :
A guy walks into a musicians' hangout bar with a pet octopus. He bets everyone in the joint that the octopus can play any instrument as soon as he can first assess the instruments' features for about five seconds. Many patrons take the bet, but one after another are completely shocked when the octopus played their guitars, their trumpets, their saxophones, their drums, the piano etc., better that they could after just a few moments of looking at each of those. A Scotsman from the back of the room who has been watching all this unfold , finally gets up and brings his bagpipe over, telling the octopus' owner that he'll take the bet if the thing can play his bagpipe. The octopus stares at the bagpipe, and keeps staring, and staring..minutes go by, and his owner starts to sweat.. frustrated , he turns to the octopus and says : - what the hell is going on, can't you figure out how to play this ? The octopus replies : - Play it ?! , I'm trying to figure out how to remove its pajamas, so I can f*ck it !! :-)
