I play uilleann pipes, and Edward's post reminds me of this (I don't have an attribution):
"....try to remember that these pipes are stupidly complicated and frustrating anywhere in the world, and in isolation it's a touch harder because there's nobody you can complain to who's got a chance of understanding what you're going on about." It is, to say the least, dry and understated. -- Marc Carter, PhD Associate Professor and Chair Department of Psychology College of Arts & Sciences Baker University -- ________________________________ From: Pollak, Edward [mailto:epol...@wcupa.edu] Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2009 10:42 AM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: [tips] Mid-Week Humor. Since Michael came up dry this week, I offer this gem: "These are bagpipes. 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 sound never equalled the purity of the sound achieved by the pig." Alfred Hitchcock Edward I.
