Q: Why do bagpipers always march while they’re playing? A: They are trying to get away from that damn music. (Actually I like bagpipe music, in reasonable doses.)
Our local Folk Music Festival often has performers who play the Uilleann Pipes (Irish bagpipes, powered by elbow-squeezed bellows rather than lungs). The players usually introduce their instruments by pointing out something like, “The main difference between the Irish pipes and the Scottish Highland Pipes is that the Irish ones are musical instruments and the Highland ones are weapons of war.”
(True—after the Battle of Culloden 1746, in which the highland pipes were used to lead Scottish soldiers in battle, the British Act of Proscription forbade the wearing of Tartan, the speaking of Gaelic, and the playing of the highland pipes.)

Bag pipes are naught but a big bag of wind, trapped and screaming to be released!

There was humor in the cartoon, but all these comments may have kilt it.
