Donald MacDonald from Scottland went to study at an English university.
After he had been there a month, his mother came to visit him.
"And how do you find the English students, Donald?" she asked.
"Mother," he replied, "they're such terrible, noisy people. The one on that side 
keeps banging his head on the wall and won't stop. The one on the other side screams 
and screams all night."
"Oh Donald! How do you manage to put up with these awful noisy neighbors?"
"Mother, I just stay here quietly, playing my bagpipes."
