The young
Scotsman left his home in Scotland to study at an English university.
After a month, his mother came to visit him in the residence hall where
he was living with other students. "How do you find that English
students, Donald," his mother asked. "Mother," he replied,
"they're such noisy people! The one in the room on that side keeps
banging his head on the wall all night, and the one in the room on this
side screams all night long." "Donald, how do you manage to
put up with such noisy neighbors?" "I ignore them. I just mind
my own business and keep playing my pipes."

hear the one about the bagpiper who parked his car with the windows open,

A
guy walks into a bar with an octopus. He sits the octopus down on a stool
and tells everyone in the bar that this is a very talented octopus. He
can play any musical instrument in the world. He hears everyone in the
crowd laughing at him, calling him an idiot, etc. The guy says that he
will wager $50 to anyone who has an instrument that the octopus can't
play.The first one walks up with a guitar. The octopus starts playing
better than Jimi Hendrix. So the man pays $50. Another guy walks
up with a trumpet. The octopus plays the trumpet better than Dizzie Gillespie.
So the man pays his $50. A third guy walks up with bagpipes. He
sits them down and the octopus fumbles with it for a minute and sits it
down with a confused look. "Ha!" the man said. "Can't you
play it?" The octopus looks up at the man and says, "Play it?
I'm going to have sex with it as soon as I figure out how to get its pajamas
off!!!!"
"I
understand the inventor of the bagpipes was inspired when he saw a man
carrying an indignant, asthmatic pig under his arm. Unfortunately, the
man-made object never equaled the purity of sound achieved by the pig."
