If you were lost in the woods, who would you trust for directions: an in-tune bagpipe player, an out-of-tune bagpipe player, or Santa Claus? A. The out-of-tune bagpipe player.

What's the definition of "optimism" A. A bagpiper with a beeper. ------------------------------------------------------ Did you hear the one about the bagpiper who parked his car with the windows open, forgetting that he had left his bagpipes in the back seat? He rushed back as soon as he realised it, but it was too late someone had already put another set of bagpipes in the car! These are only jokes myself actually like the sound of the Scottish, Welsh or Irish or Cornish bagpipes.Welsh bagpipes Pibgorn au Pibau, in Scotland the Stock-horn and Scotch Bagpipes. It would seem that these instruments were brought to the British Islands with the Celtic immigration and they have survived particularly in those regions in which the Celtic blood has held its own.And our close Celtic friends of we Welsh the Cornish clan. Bagpipes have been part of Cornish folklore since time immemorial but since the classic Celtic revival of the twentieth century has encouraged more use of the instrument.

I love the sound of bagpipes and really enjoy Gaelic music in all its forms, but those jokes were still quite funny!

I would rather listen to bagpipes than ANY country music (I won't say "good" country music because no such thing exists).
Good jokes though - some seem stolen from lawyer jokes, but still good. |
