Lost piper

[EagleJCS]

Another old one, but still good:

Why does a bagpiper walk while he's playing?

To get away from the noise.

Variation:

Because it's harder to shoot a moving target.

[Bill aka Mole]

Of course, bagpipes and drums should always be kept away from small children at YOUR house. But I've heard that they make great Christmas gifts for your Grandchildren at THEIR house!

[ohiopiper]

A gentleman is someone who knows how to play the bagpipe but doesn't.

Bagpipes were inspired by a farmer carrying a squealing pig under his arm. The purity of the sound of the pig has not yet been reproduced.
