who had been endeavouring for some months to arrange for the visit of
one of his colleagues to dinner until his patience was about exhausted.
Finally a definite date was arranged but the gentleman informed him that
he would come "gin he wis spared."
"Weill, weill" was the rejoinder "gin
ye're deid we'll no expeck ye!"
