<p>i was offline. BTW, how do you get bagpipes? do they sell those at a musical store or something?</p>

<p>At a musical store yes, and make sure to get a short plaid kilt with it.</p>

<p>My daughter was asked this in an interview and panicked. She claims she didn’t want to sound boring, so she revealed that she can lick her own elbow (I know it’s a little weird). They both started laughing. Then the woman actually wanted to see it and proceeded to try it herself. </p>

<p>Three days later she got her acceptance letter. We didn’t end up choosing the school but it’s a great story.</p>
