A man was busking on a streetcorner when a policeman approached him and told him that he was going to be fined.
"Is it my skirt?" the man asked, tugging on his tartan kilt.
No, the policeman said.
"Is it my bagpipes?" the man asked, lifting the instrument.
Well....not exactly, the policeman said. Just responding to public complaints, he said.
"There was a guy playing guitar with an amp before I got here. Why didn't he get in trouble?"
Because he wasn't playing funereal songs at ten in the morning, the policeman said.
"I was playing happy songs, songs of celebration in my culture," the man said.
He was fined.
