#1 Steve --- RE: "Giggle juice and bagpipes"

That really cracked me up! I can just see the detainee: "Please stop! The chanter is bad enough, but the drones are making my head explode at close range. Stop them and I will tell you everything!"

#3 Laddies, ye should'na be denigratin' the mighty bagpipe, for 'tis a fearsome instrument o'war. As the great Ronald MacReagan related the tale;

"Do you remember the story of Bill Millin of the 51st Highlanders? Forty years ago today, British troops were pinned down near a bridge, waiting desperately for help. Suddenly, they heard the sound of bagpipes, and some thought they were dreaming. Well, they werenât. They looked up and saw Bill Millin with his bagpipes, leading the reinforcements and ignoring the smack of the bullets into the ground around him."
