I thought this a good joke at the expense of the Scots until I leant that in Japan a traditional way of proposing marriage is to ask “Will you share my grave?” A variation on the theme is to say “Let’s grow old together”, although the most common way of proposing marriage in Japan is to ask “Will you make my miso soup?”. Japanese girls despair of finding a romantic streak in their men. Valentine’s Day is big in Japan, but the presents (which are usually chocolates) all come from the women. Once married, however, the women will invariably insist on separate beds. It seems that its all right to share the same grave, but never the same bed.
