I get this question all the time...ALL the time.

You know, I think I might go buy a used set of really cheap import pipes.....get 'em on Craigslist or something. I'll outfit them with a set of really godawful reeds and pull all the chanters willdy out of tune. And then when the next person asks, I'll pull this weapon out and say."Why, yes, I DO play the bagpipes" and then proceed to destroy a reel in a bloody acoustic massacre that bears more resemblance to a V-8 with a thrown rod than anything vaguely associated with music.
