    Hey, I am a good musician. It’s just that I make more money this way.

    It took me a minute, but I figured it out: the piper must be Congress … I mean, we do pay them to do nothing, right?

    No, they get paid. We just wish they would do nothing.

    I never like riding the bus. Waste time to be waited forever! I never like the bagpipes because it sounds so horrible!

    Why do bagpipers usually walk as they play? They’re trying to get away from the noise….

    @ DigitalFrog: Having once known a professional bagpiper, I’ll tell you what he told me. Pipers walk as they play because they have to blow very hard into the blowpipe in order to keep the bag inflated. Unfortunately this can lead to fainting because, if done for long periods of time, not enough blood will get to the brain. Walking simply keeps the blood circulating properly.

    BTW: I absolutely LOVE bagpipe music! But then, I have a lot of Scots ancestry on both sides of my bloodline.

    Actually, I have a wee bit of Scot blood as well, I have Robert the Bruce among my ancestors. I do respect a good bagpiper, but they’re just fun to make sport of :)

    Ok, R the B died in 1329 it is now 2008 so that is 679 years. 20 years in a generation gives, we’ll round that up to 34. Now if each generation had 2 kids live long enough to have kids them selves that would be 2^34 or almost 18 billion descendants.

    On the other hand I claim to be a descendant of King Volsung of Norway using the same math.

    I think bagpipes is something you either like or don’t like. Sometimes, after a while, you get more used to it and find you do like it. I have CD of Scottish music, but I don’t usually listen to the whole thing. But there are numbers I have heard that I really like.

    h20man: I wonder what kind of reaction that would produce! However, I’ll let you do it for me, as I’m not sure how an “old” woman would be received! Too many guns in that area! I’d hate to lose my Scottish CD!!!!!
