There are more breath tests at this time of year, and it's the only time when you hear bagpipes. Why on earth *wouldn't* you combine the two?
Landlords could own a set, and secretly find out whose car keys needed confiscating for the evening.

Made me chuckle just reading the title. (+) |

Don't you have to be drunk to enjoy the sound? |
|
| |
yes. very. Dreadful dirge. |

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are indicating you have a blood alcohol level of .09... |

Why is that? In Nova Scotia they are more frequently heard during the summer months. |

Ever since the wall came down, we English have a mighty fear o' lookin' north. However, the Scots celebrate so noisily at thing time of year that even we English have trouble ignoring them. |

Don't you have to be pretty drunk to think you can play the bagpipes in the first place? |
|
| |
I swear there is a cat in that bag. London did better than Edinburgh last night! |

Didn't take you for a religious sort. |

Bagpipes can bring you to your knees incredibly quickly. |

Beautiful. Just plain Beautiful. |

I am one of the few who truly loves bagpipes. Can never listen to them without smiling. The last time that I heard them I was snowed in, in Yosemite Valley, and a lone piper played at 6:00AM. The effect was wonderful as the sound bounced off the canyon walls. |

Yes, a "smidge" of Scottish blood somewhere back in my family. [+] |

You're not the only one [klaatu]. I certainly have a soft spot for the pipes... Reminds me of home (wipes a tear from my eye).
Alot of American tourists seem to like them aswell. |

i guess the system works on, i'm in a pub i'll play the bag pipes, stone cold sober this seems a bad idea as our esteemed DrCurry pointed out |
|

What's the point? You have to be drunk to blow into the skin of a dead goat anyway. |

MikeO, for some historical reason I can't remember, the bagpipes are used at nearly every funeral at Arlington National Cemetery. Americans can't help but get misty eyed at Amazing Grace. |
