Bagpipes For 2008

“I have none.”

“hey thats my stupid thing

cuz im stupid”

“At least you didn't say dentist.”

“zero for me. but, it's still early in the year...”

“I have a chanter.... does that count?”

“Rev, can you blow it out yer.................uh, carry a tune?”

“A tooter who tutored a flute
Tried to tutor two tooters to toot.
Said the two to the tooter
"is it harder to toot?
Or to tutor two tooters to toot?"”

“unless you go to a lot of cop funerals wouldn't this just be one, during st patty's day?”

“One of my dad's cousins has a son who wanted to learn bagpipes. The only way the tutor would teach the boy is if he also taught the father, since they were far apart and could only get tutoring sessions every 2 weeks. These cousins happened to visit my dad's parents the same week my dad did. Did I mention the cousins brought the bagpipes? Did mention that my aunt Susan, who lives next door to my grandparents, runs a safe cat sanctuary? So you can imagine what it looked like when these 2 guys fired up their bagpipes at 8 am in the morning. Cats were flying everywhere, and the neighbors were up in arms.”

“The chanter itself is not real loud. They make "small pipes" for indoors but the "great pipes" are really only tolerable outdoors. At least for any length of time. Of course the Irish pipes are a whole different beastie. They are powered by an arm bellows so you can sing at the same time as playing the pipes.
