Frankly, I am pleased to admit that I have NEVER been asked, "Where are your bagpipes?"! Maybe it's a North American 'thing' because the closest I came to it was when someone in the New York subway system (two years ago) asked me, "Which band do you play with?" At that time I hadn't the faintest idea what he was talking about ....... and told him so!

On second thoughts, there are very few pipe bands in England and that would be one of the last things to occur to people when they see a chap in a kilt!
