Marley the Bag Pipe Breaker

There is a man in the Kingdom named Marley.  Marley liked to break bagpipes when his fellow man was busy playing them in public.  One day Marley broke a nice set of bagpipes and the player just shrugged it off.  It was always that way.  No one really gets mad when you break their bagpipes.  But one day Marley tried to break a flute in two.  It snapped quickly and the flutist was not very happy.  That said, the flute player really did not care as new flutes only cost a few shekels.  So that was that.  Marley kept breaking the bagpipes and no one really noticed.  But I have to say that if Marley destroys a grand piano some day, I will be very disappointed.  Thanks Marley.  I always preferred the Trumpet to the Bag Pipes anyhow.  But your day will come I predict and if it does, I just don't want to be around when the pianist shoots you with his slingshot carrying a golden ball right between your nose and your upper lip.  It might not be to your liking.  Thanks.
