Definition of a "Gentleman": Knows how to play the pipes and refrains from doing so.
It has been said that the Scots got the pipes from the Irish and the Irish are still laughing, but the Scots have yet to get the joke.
Strangely it worked quite well. When dealing with the pipes, a resemblance to an elegant little spaniel is the least of ones worries. I really loved the surreality of it all.
