A Bit of Humor...

[sav]

Donald MacDonald from the Isle of Skye was admitted to Oxford University, and was now living in his first year of residence there. His clan was very excited that one of their own had made it into the upper class of education, but were concerned how he'd do in "that strange land." After the first month, his mother came to visit, with reinforcements of whiskey and oatmeal.

"And how do you find the English students, Donald?" she asked.

"Oh, Mother," he replied, shaking his head sadly, "they're such terrible, noisy people: The one on that side keeps banging his head against the wall, and woon't stop; and the one on the other side screams and screams and screams away into the night."

"But Donald! How do you manage with those dreadful noisy English neighbours?"

"Well, mother, I just ignore 'em. I just stay here quietly, playing my bagpipes..."

Those are some rude neighbors.

Excellent joke Dreadbelly ! I remeber being told at school that one definition of a Scottish Gentleman, is, one who knows how to play the bagpipes - but doesn't...

Apologies to all pipers.

Apologies to Sav for mistakenly crediting his joke. I'll use preview next time.

I love the pipes...but I do love the joke about them too..such as:

What's the difference between bagpipes and a trampoline?


You take your shoes off to jump on a trampoline!

[Doc Hudson]

Or:

Q: Why do pipers march while they play?
















A: They are trying to get away from the noise.

[Archangel]

this is from some music company:
difference between bagpipes and onions?

nobody cries when you cut up a bagpipe.

Apologies to Sav for mistakenly crediting his joke. I'll use preview next time.

I actually thought you were giving credit to Dreadbelly for his comment that "Those are some rude neighbors." That joke was just as good as the original joke.

I really think this whole thread is hilarious! But then again I do have a strange sense of humor, I hang around you guys (he says with that cheshire grin)

The Irish gave the Scots bagpipes as a joke ..... and they still don't get it.
