Gregor, where's your spray-tan?

The Absurdities of Life - the whiskey walk

By Conor DarrallPublished 3 years ago 1 min read
The author as a young highlander.

Once while eaten alive in Glenmorangie,

My pal Greg took some spray (from his sporran, see?)

"This will help with the midges",

But it had us in stitches,

Cos we ended with skin that was orangey.
