36. very nice. Did not know its name or that it was Scotland's national anthem
just heard it many times.

A dear friend passed away last year, and he loved Scotland, loved golf and had even played St Andrews. He was buried in his full formal kilt, which he wore to ALL our Christmas parties and other fun events, even to church occasionally.

Part of the service included a bagpiper in the courtyard of our church, and he was playing 'Scotland the Brave' as we exited the church over to the reception hall.

He also played "Amazing Grace", 'Loch Lomond", "Black Watch March' and other well known pieces; he played for about an hour. The attendees busied themselves melting into little pools of tears. Seriously we were all hugging one another and weeping, over that wild wonderful and totally sentimental sound.

John would have loved it.

8. Not Disco, but this can be...
Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

:hi:

18. AC/DC "It's a Long Way To the Top (I You Wanna Rock n Roll)"
is the best bagpipe laden song ever.

Amazing Grace on them just makes me cry.

28. That was an actual radio blooper.
A request for Blue Bells of Scotland came out as, "And now a song for John, Blue Balls of Scotland."
