Heh. I *like* the pipes...

An Englishman, an Irishman, a Welshman and a Scotsman were captured while fighting in Iraq.

The leader of their captors said: "We're going to line you up in front of a firing squad and shoot you all in turn. But first, you each can make a final wish."

The Scotsman says: "I'd like to hear Flower of Scotland just one more time to remind me of the auld country, played on bagpipes in the style of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards."

The Irishman says: "I'd like to hear Danny Boy just one more time to remind me of the Emerald Isle, sung in the style of Daniel O'Donnell, with Riverdance dancers skipping gaily to the tune."

The Welshman says: "I'd like to hear Men Of Harlech just one more time to remind me of the Land of my Fathers, sung as if by the Aberavon Male Voice Choir."

The Englishman said: "I'd like to be shot first..."

H/t, Mike D.

I'd give him a bye on "Danny Boy" and Daniel O'Donnell, but rejecting the Pipes and "Men of Harlech" is not on. He's probably a Robbie Williams groupie. Cheers

Or a music critic. The Eire-ish invented the bagpipes for use during battle, lo, those many years ago, when I'd finally perfected the recipe for mud. Then they gave the things to the Scots, who *still* think they're really a musical instrument. V29 should be here *any* minute now...

..and all three of the others volunteered to help with the Englishman's request.
