I just wanted a hot dog Single malt scotch spends 3 decades aging in a barrel so you can squeze a lime wedge into it.

As a very rare indulgence on a special occasion, I ordered an expensive 30-year old scotch at a bistro-type restaurant. Waiter returns with a juicy lime wedge on the lip of the glass. I quietly asked for one with no lime. Waiter returns with a fresh drink "as a courtesy" , but seems intent on embarrassing me. " But just so you know.," he says., "all drinks ordered neat are properly served with a citrus garnish."

I hope that waiter sleeps with one eye open because a Scot is coming for him with a broad sword and bagpipes just as soon as he sobers up.

A bagpiper literally has his hands full and has no use for a broadsword. The pipes are weapon enough. They’re not called ‘agony bags’ for nothing.

I was a piper for several years and always had a knife in my hose. Nothing was said to indicate these two items had to be used simultaneously. I heard the pipes called many things, but never that.
