    Geico commercial

    This commercial just started playing a few days ago on TV. One of my Olde English Bulldogges, who has been to several Highland Games with me, does not like bagpipes. This advert drives her crazy!

    I've piped in some odd places, but never under a kitchen sink!

    No, but I would assume that your plumber has, or your kitchen must be flooded.

    Why didn't I think of that

    After the first two similar commercials, (one mentioning a "clogging" problem and the other the neighbors "fencing,") I asked my wife what else we might suggest as a double entendre that would fit the theme of these ads. We came up with nothing and now piping seems so obvious especially given our affinity for all things Scottish.
    Still thinking.

    Cheers,

    David

    Wouldn't what the piper is doing be called 'kitchen piping'? <ducks for cover>

    The piper in the bedroom is Scott MacDonald, Pipe Major of the Los Angeles Scots Pipe Band, a superb piper. His father, also a piper, came here from Scotland after WWII.

    Here's Scott, in full LA Scots kit. The kilts are Drummond Of Perth (Muted Colours) by House Of Edgar. The sporrans are by Ian Grant (Edinburgh).



    I know most of the LA Scots pipers at sight but I can't figure out who the guy shoved under the sink is.

    At one Highland Games, at the Host Hotel, I woke up one morning in full band kit under the sink in the bathroom in somebody else's room. I didn't have a clue whose room it was, or how I got there.
