LIFE EXPLAINED, PART 92

Bagpipes are a perfect illustration that humans can be a perverse and stubborn race of beings. Even the most accomplished bagpiper sounds horribly shrill and annoying half the time, yet the bagpipe has never gone away. Indeed, where there is one bagpipe, you are likely to find a dozen more shrieking away trying in vain to play a song together, and only when the thing is almost over does anyone realize what song it is they are butchering. And yet we invite these people to our parades and funerals all the time.
