bagpipes

I have a Bagpipes list, not quite finished.

These are some of my favorite instruments. The fact that they're often played by men in skirts is just gravy.

The Bagpipes yt entertains you from morning till night with a repetition of the fame nots are ye dull heavy fellows: ftory tellers that with a perpetuall humming quite tire your patience.

- Peter Reading, Mens Talents in Difcours Shadowed out by Muficall Inftruments, from Fiction, 1979

That's a great joke.

Donald MacDonald from the Isle of Skye went to study at an English university and was living in the hall of residence with all the other students there. After he had been there a month, his mother came to visit him. "And how do you find the English students, Donald?" she asked. "Mother," he replied, "they're such terrible, noisy people. The one on that side keeps banging his head on the wall and won't stop. The one on the other side screams and screams all night." "Oh Donald! How do you manage to put up with these awful noisy English neighbors?"
"Mother, I do nothing. I just ignore them. I just stay here quietly, playing me bagpipes!"
