More Proof Ladies Love Kilts

[Magnus Sporrano]

I like that response. I should pull out my harmonica and do the same thing. That is one question I do get on occasion, as I'm sure I don't have to tell anyone. Any time you can confuse 'em, they're more likely to leave you alone.

Well here is one that is PG-13.

Yesterday at the convenience store the lady standing in front of me in line makes the ***-umption that I play bagpipes.

Her: "You playing today?"
Me; "No, working."
Her: (confused) "Oh? What do you do for a living where you would have to wear a kilt?"
Me: "Oh, I breed sheep." (a lot of good responses start out this way)
Her: "I don't understand. Why would you wear a kilt as a sheep breeder?"
(he shoots... he SCORES!!!)
Me: "Well you see, it's a lot easier to chase after them when they get away with your kilt up than with your pants down."

Her brain went into complete meltdown trying to figure out if I was serious or not. She left the store very quickly after that.

Dang, now I have to get coffee off the monitor.

I can't tell you how many times a day I must tell people that I don't play bagpipes. So in my ammo pouch that I started wearing today, I am carrying a trump (Jew's Harp). This way when people ask the bagpipe question I can say "no but I play one of these" and start playing wherever I'm at. That should give them something to scratch their heads about.

That's why I need to get a Playstation Portable. ;)

I had never heard of it being called a "Jew's Harp" I assume you are talking about the small metal instrument with a curved spring steel center tine and a metal bow.. I thought it was called a "Juice Harp" I'd also heard it called a jaw or mouth harp and a gewgaw. As a result of your post, I did a search and found the history of the "Jew's Harp" at the Jew's Harp Guild... Their main site is at www.jewsharpguild.org

Yes, a guild. I love to learn new things!

A young lady asked me, "So where are your bagpipes." I just grinned at her. She blushed and walked away.

Why is it that everyone who wears a kilt has to play bagpipes? I don't get that question.

Not that it bugs me, but I get it so often that I have to wonder.
