Geordie gawped at Tam, wi his face like a cloot, an Tam gawped back. The neist thing ye kent, they war baith daein a Lindford Christie doon the fairwey an, when they reached the ither gowfer, he wis flet oot on his back wi his mooth gawpin tae the lift an the ba hauf stickin oot his foreheid juist abuin his neb.
“Jings, he leuks deid tae me!” said Geordie.
“Ay. A doot he’s deid aw richt – niver kent whit hit him. Puir sowl.” quo Tam.
“My guidness Tam, A’v killed him! Whit am A gaun tae dae noo?” Geordie speirt.
“Weel, if it wis me,” reponed Tam wi a wee keek tae the green, “A’d mibbie tak a nummer nine airn an, wi an open face, try an play it like a bunker shot. It wad be a peetie tae spyle sic a guid drive.”
