" A country laird on one occasion sent his gardener, John by name, to his cellar to bottle a barrel of whisky, and cautioned him at the same time to be sure and drink one whole glass of the liquor before starting to the work, or else the fumes might go to his head and seriously affect him. John was a careful man, generally speaking, so took extra precautions, though these were not attended with satisfactory results. Entering ...the cellar the laird was astonished to find his trusted retainer staggering about stupidly in the place. " Ah, John, John, 1 ' exclaimed the laird, " you have not acted on my advice, I fear, and taken a dram before starting. 11 " Dram be hang'd ! " blurted out John. " It's no a bit o 1 use. I hae ta'en nearly a dizzen o 1 them, an 1 Fin gettin 1 aye the langer the waur. 11 A Forfarshire agriculturist, somewhat given to the dram, coming home one evening fully " three sheets to the wind, 11 took a seat by the fire, and, what with the heat and the fumes of the whisky he had imbibed, he soon became sick, and possessed of an irresistible desire to turn himself inside out.
