A drunken Scotsman is merrily rolling along a country road after a night of sheer ecstasy at his local, thoroughly warmed up and jolly he starts singing and dancing as goes. This comes to an abrupt halt when he sees a man lying in the ditch. He jumps in and pulls the man out - just in time, as it was apparent he was starting to drown.
The man comes to and thanks him. And then informs him that he is no ordinary man but can give two wishes to any one person he chooses. Our drunken hero laughs and says, 'Aye, so ye can'. The man shakes his head sadly and repeats that he as the powers to grant to two wishes to any one person he chooses.
'Alright then!' says our congenial drunk, thinking he was clearly dealing with a loony tune, 'I wish for a bottle of everlasting whisky!'
POOF! A bottle of whisky appears in his hand.
'What the!!!!' this nearly sobers him up, so he takes a good strong pull at the bottle, and looks at it - as full as before. He dashes down another good few measures, looks at it, and by jove, it is still full.
'Man that's amazing, just amazing!' and he prepares to go home with his miraculous gift.
'Wait a minute' says the magical man, 'you have one more wish, what will it be?'
'What else? Hic!' he replies, 'Ah'll hae another wan o' these!'
