a wee gem fur yiz : The scene is Paisley Sheriff court and a witness is being questioned by a rather plummy mouthed Advocate Depute (AD)...... AD : "You say you went up to your friends house that night. Why did you go there ?"...... Witness: "Tae get a tap"...... AD : "Is your friend a plumber?"..... Witness: "Naw"..... AD: "Are you a plumber ?"..... The witness is a bit bewildered by this line of questioning and the AD realises it. The AD notices that the court police officer is rubbing his fingers together in the universal gesture of money...... Daylight, apparently, dawns on the AD and he changes his line of questioning accordingly...... AD: "So you went to the house to borrow money?"..... Witness: "Naw"..... AD: "Ah. You went to the house to lend money"..... Witness: "Naw"..... In exasperation the AD says: "You told the court you went to your friend's house for a tap. What kind of tap was it ?"..... > > Witness : "A Saint Murn tap".
