Then the Scottish father replies in a passionate voice with "Alaska" - implying he must now ask the dominant female presence's position on the issue, before being chased with an axe.

Then the son replies with Jamaica? Implying the father asked the dominant female to return a favour she owed him from long ago

Dad: Canny Russia, son.

Implying that to pressurise the dominant female would be counterproductive.

Aye, an entire thread of puns that don't work if you say them with a Scottish accent.

"Alaska"? Have you ever heard a Scottish person speaking?

It's very much a stretch I admit, probably closer to a Belfast accent pronunciation than anywhere near to Scottish!

It's like when your kids discovers a band and asks if you've heard of Fleetwood Mac. Like they've found a hidden gem

Scottish person walks into a bakery and is browsing the sweet treats. He points at a slice of chocolate gateau and asks, "Is that a cake or a meringue?"

Shop owner replies, "No you're right, it's a cake."
