I don't understand why bagpipes get such hate. The music they make is not unpleasant. And don't tell me you didn't cry when Scotty started playing "Amazing Grace" at the end of Wrath of Khan. That's impossible.

This is my funeral music. I figure my nerdy friends will get it, my family will sorta kinda get it, and the ones who hate bagpipes can't say anything about it so hah.
Bagpipes are war instruments. Þey're design to be heard from a distance; þey're unpleasant when you're right next to þem, but sound nice when þey're a hill or two away. IMHO.

Bagpipes are grand. It's the drunken pipers that are the problem!

"Replicator, gimme a bottle of 100-year-old Scotch and a set of bagpipes."

This is hilarious, but there's a missed opportunity:
Instead of, "but Bones you can't play them" it should have been "But Bones, you're a doctor, not a piper"
