What's the difference between a bagpipe and a trampoline?
You take off your shoes when you jump on a trampoline.

How can you tell a bagpiper with perfect pitch?
He can throw a set into the middle of a pond and not hit any of the ducks.

How is playing a bagpipe like throwing a javelin blindfolded?
You don't have to be very good to get people's attention.

I'm confused...

Blessings.

 

[By Grace]

Sorry about the confusion, bro.

It was humor, of the self-deprecating kind that those of Scottish descent use with our brothers who are pipers.

Sounds good.

The Irish invented bagpipes.

As a joke.

Please don't tell the Scots.

Only a Barbarian could come up with that untruth! :p

Speaking of bagpipes and whatnot, the town next to me (and the one I work in) Bethlehem Pa has the largest Celtic festival every late September starting Thursday night for the banquet, and the Friday night- Sunday night the whole weekend of pipe bands, sports, dancing and similar competitions. I have not been there recently, but I went several years ago every year for awhile. If you get to this area, it's worth checking out.

The first mentiòn of bagpipes in the Bible was translated "organs". I did a study on bible instrumemts once.

K: Something tells me you don't like the sound of bagpipes.

Something tells me that Trent Lott, Sean Connery et al. won't be inviting you to Tartan Day celebrations...

But I thought the bible said to make a "joyful" noise.

True, but it didn't say anything about being in tune.

 

[By Grace]

Speaking of tune:

Q. What's the difference between a lawnmower and a bagpipe?
A. You can tune the lawnmower, and the owner's neighbors are upset if you borrow the lawnmower and don't return it.

You heard of the bagpiper who went to lunch? He was in the middle of lunch when he realized he had left his pipes out on the car seat where they could be seen. He ran back to his car, but he was too late. The window was broken, and there were two more sets of pipes in his car.

Personally, I love bagpipe music. There's nothing like listening to "Highland Cathedral" as performed by bagpipes.

Hi..and then there are the Irish pipes, played by Irish piper Sean O'Flynn...!

There is no accounting for the tasted of some! :p

Gotta tell ya, By Grace, there's just something special about well-played bagpipe music. I've been known to get lost in the melodies before.
