Islay....

It was an Islay-man's birthday, and his wife bought him a nice pair of ear-muffs to keep out the cold, cold wind.

A week later a friend saw him without his present!

"Och, Angus! What have you done with that fine set of ear-warmers Maggie gave ye?"

"Weel, Hamish! They were just fine, except that the first time I wore them, some man in the pub asked me if I would like a dram! And I didnae hear him!!!"

(The sketch of Islay is from Barnard's book of 1887 - the Laphroaig box was just lying around......)
