Some education needed.

A local editor of a small town newspaper who fancies himself as a humor writer did a piece as follow-up to the story AP picked up on in Fargo, ND. Those of you not familiar with that story can access the Fargo Forum site. Seems a young man got inebriated on the eve of his wedding and, whilst wearing a kilt, flashed passing motorists and engaged in a sexual act with a woman. The police arrived and the man and his 'partner' were arrested. This follow-up piece, 'That'll Get You Kilt', was done in his regular "That's Life" column and was published in several regional papers. The writer is Tony Bender, editor of the Ashley Tribune, Ashley, ND.http://www.ashleynd.com/thatslife.htm

Read and decide for yourself. And those of you that have already responded, you are right. The man is/was an idiot and were it not for him wearing a kilt likely would not have received a second glance. But the follow-up piece contains little humor and deserves a few emails directed at Mr. Bender. I have sent mine. I would encourage others to do the same.

eh, he is from North Dakota, I don't know if I can type slow enough for him to read it . . .

I keed, I am originally from South Dakota myself . . .

I thought the article was actually pretty funny. Especially the lady who drove around the block 5 or 6 times

I would however expect a person from North Dakota to appreciate the insulating qualities of wool, so he looses some credibility right there.

As far as wearing a kilt at the appropriate length, above the knee is modest, at the knee is bashful and below the knee is lying

Sounds like your basic make of fun of Scotland stuff, I've seen a lot worse from writers that are supposed to be credible.
I liked the bit about the fiancé going shopping for something blue ...and automatic.
