I don't get why everybody is so against bagpipes.

I mean, they are an effective way of defending against planar outsiders.

Ok, I might have a nuisance to everybody there, but the sound produced by bagpipes is empirically proven to highly irritating on all lifeforms with hearing abilities.

This could be especially true for planar outsiders, which tend to depend on sound-based sensing.

The Council of Defense rejected my idea, obviously.

"This is a serious matter. You can't just... do that."

They disliked my idea so much that they removed me from the Council of Defense and made me a regular cop.

I... mean it was just a suggestion--like I didn't actually carry it out.

...

Ok, maybe I did, but it worked, didn't it?

Suddenly, my phone in my pocket started ringing.

"Hello, we are the National Militia of General Evil."

"We would like you to participate in the robbing of [insert bank here]. You can go evacuate the people and then-"

Great. Now I'm getting prank calls!

"That was a very real call from a very real organization."

...

Damn.
