Worst piper in the band

[glenlivet]

Wow, to quote my dearly departed mother, whodathunk? That is a dirty little secret. I'll bet they cut off the tops of the corks so the are low profile, too.
Huh!

This is news to me; my band doesn't do it.


But if I had a mind to, I'd plug the reed end at the stock. Otherwise getting the plug out (assuming it was cut down to be even with the cap) would be rather a b|+tch!
