    It was those leprechauns that could have been left at home.

    Not to mention bare butts since Scotts don’t wear anything under their kilts.

    Well, if it blew all the bagpipes away, that would be an improvement!!

    I’ve always figured that the English invented the trebuchet to throw all the bagpipes out in Loch Ness so far that the Scots couldn’t swim out there to get them back!

    And then they started the Nessie rumor to keep the Scots from even trying to swim out there!

    Yeah, sensible things like drink beer and then drink more beer.

    Nabucwudrizuzther (or something like that) said a while back - The Russians rewrote history to take credit for inventing nearly everything which became the brunt of a lot of jokes (or something to that effect).

    My favorite one was in in Star Trek, the Undiscovered Country - “You cannot really appreciate Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon.”

    Love bagpipes! Years ago The Black Watch was on tour here in the U.S. Saw them in Pittsburgh. Truly, a great performance!

    The Irish invented the bagpipes and gave them to the Scots. The Scots were too cheap (frugal) to give them back. Every St. Pat’s I am pleased to hear “Scotland Forever” blown through those accused pipes as the drunken Irish cheer. Don’t try to tell a drunk Mic.

    My uncle in kilt and pipes had a minor (?) accident on the way home from a St Pat’s parade. He claims he was sober as a Dublin priest. Anyway, he claims the nurse looked at him, winked, and said “I always wondered what you wore under those kilts.” My mother told me never listen to her brother.

    Actually, the Irish and the Scots both have bagpipes but they differ slightly. One functional difference is that the Scottish pipes are played using the players breath. Irish pipes actually have a small pump that sits under one of the players arms and the pump puts air in the bag.

    I did not look it up but I also believe the Irish and Scottish bagpipes may have a different number of “drone” pipes. I think the Scots have four while the Irish have three but don’t hold me to that.

    Hey! Bagpipes are a GREAT invention! When I was in college and the two guys in the next room would play karaoke in Korean, I’d just put on my tapes of the pipes and play it until they got the message and turned it down.

    Either way, a sick moose sounds better.

    I just can’t, or don’t want to, imagine the sound of a tornado hitting a bunch of bagpipes.

    Lewreader, according to my maternal grandfather (a Hagan whose ancestors were from County Tyrone), the Irish invented bagpipes and gave them to the Scotts as a joke, but the Scotts have yet to get the joke.

    With the possible exception of “Taps” there is nothing so touching as a lone bagpiper comming out of the fog playing Amazing Grace at a funneral. I lose it every time.
