I'd heard the Burns one before but had forgotten it so laughed out loud.
Just add heart and lung . . .

Burns Unit first? That groaner should have been the finale.

One of our local restaurants has a Burns fest, which includes poetry reading and a haggis procession. I will get there some day.

Ach! Love these! I follow several Scots on social media and sometimes when they are talking with their friends I can't understand a single damned word. Cammy of 'The Sheep Game' used to recite a Burns poem on Burns Day - very nice of hear it in the proper accent.
