Last kilt, dear, I promise!

[ForresterModern]

"Last kilt, dear, I promise!" Yup, I have used that, precisely 14 times since I bought my 4th kilt, the beautiful Isle Of Skye tank. Probably going to have to use it again at least once and maybe twice more as I already have two lengths of tartan sitting in a drawer awaiting postage to my kiltmaker. For those male members of the forum with spouses or significant others, that is probably the single most universally utilized line spoken in one's spouse's presence, next to "I love you dear" (which incidentally it works well next to).
No need to practice that first line, it comes out naturally. But definitely practice when to best make use of it. Because it will likely NOT be the last time you use it.

You meant the last one today, not your fault if she misunderstood.....it doesn't work on my wife, but you may as well try it.

One is too many and a thousand are not enough.

My wife has quit asking, "Aren't you done yet?" and started asking, "What tartan did you buy this time?"

[thecompaqguy]

(sigh) I guess you're right, I couldnt resist, and a Hamilton Grey is on the way

Though if I had the money, I'd buy this tartan, made by Highland Scene.

It's called Celtic Black, it costs a fortune, £335 Has anyone else seen this kilt tartan before?

As I just got infected with the bug, the disease didn't spread entirely.

But I know it with my pipes. Initially the question was: "Do you have already enough pipes?"
No it is: "What, you just bought one pipe? Are you ill?"

Years ago, a friend said: "If you say, you have enough pipes, you're broke."

Ah, but you look terrific in a kilt, and that's half the battle in getting your wife to just smile happily when you get another kilt...!

What works for me is to wear your kilts everyday. When you get home from work, put a kilt on. Everyday.

Then every so often she says "You need a new kilt. I'm sick of seeing you in the same things all the time".

You look great.

As to "my last kilt," my wife just knows that is not true. She just rolls her eyes and says, "just wait ahile at least. Oh, and I want a new dress too."

Awaiting delivery of my Hamilton grey kilt... in fact it would have come today but I had a job interview and left the house, and missed the postman I'll get it tomorrow now
