In my early 20’s, I dated a nanny from Scotland. She told me about a special species of wild short-legged Haggis. She said they lived on a very steep mountain and would only walk counter-clockwise around the mountain. Over the course of time, their left legs became much shorter than their right legs so it was easier for them to stay level as they walked around the mountain.

No further explanation is necessary.
Season 's best to you and yours.
Be safe and jolly, in that order (or not as you please)…
As you say, I’m lucky to have SWMBO, and one of the improvements I made in meself after marriage the 1st ended, is that I learned that fact and live like it.

Kudos for dating a Scotch Nanny!
But- I think she may have misappropriated another animal’s fame [or infamy]:

@PhysAssist And this is why I moved to Florida and ended up married to an Irish woman. She frequently reminds me it’s the best thing I ever did
Also, have a Merry Christmas, whether you care to or not
edit - We also didn’t have much of an internet in the early 90’s so I took her at her word because she was hot. And Scottish.
