Funny question!

[vipermcgee]

The only question I've ever been asked by a stranger is about piping. If only we had as many whitty answers for that as we do other questions!


BTW: the closest I get to piping was playing trumpet in our school band, but that was over 15 years ago. Still, I did have a little drone...

At this point I am LEARNING to play the pipes. Long before now, I have gotten some form of Bagpipe comment. During the high school years, myself and a friend were usually in the same tartan kilt, he played the Bass Drum, and I carried it on my back. "Do you play the Bagpipes? .. Jim would answer, "No, were the drummers that keep the pipers in time." Whilst alone kilted and asked by someone in Jeans, plaid shirt and boots. "Do you play the pipes? ... No, do you herd cattle?.

Many more, but they sort of pop up and are soon forgotten.
