Arse Over Teakettle Kilt Test
So I'm at work, seated in my office chair...pretty typical chair with a five leg base with wheels, high back, arms, nothing fancy.
A coworker goes by my office door headed down the hall. I'm trying to catch her to give her $10 to sign up for the June cancer walkathon.
Well I leaned over too far in my chair and the chair tipped backwards leaving me seated in the astronaut-waiting-for-liftoff position. Coworkers gathered to giggle, point, and express concern for my health.
I was fine. Was wearing my tan Utilikilt original. It stayed in place at my knees. No exposure even of my WalMart tartan boxer shorts.
Was able to extract myself with no exposure.
No damage to my elderly body that I've detected yet.
So, kilts preserve your modesty if you happen to fall over backwards in your chair at the office.
Sorry, not pictures are available.

And I am sure there are some very disappointed office ladies too.
I have done combat rolls in my kilts, but I never had anyone nearby to tell me if they could see anything. I would think not, as the movement is so fast that it seems like it stays near my legs.
.. the kilt had concealed a blaster strapped to one thigh and a knife to the other. He was aware of the present gentle customs against personal weapons, but he felt naked without them. Such customs were nonsense anyhow, foolishment from old women - there was no such thing as "dangerous weapons," only dangerous people.

I'm glad your kilt stayed in place. You wouldn't want to admit that you wear boxers beneath your kilt (though you did that the day you "mis-tucked" your kilt walking in the door!).
My own ass-over-teakettle story is a little different. I was trucking along with a backpack on, heading into town after being rained and snowed on for a week straight. I was really booking, the trail was flat, and my head was down as I steamed ahead. I didn't see the fallen tree across the trail at head height. I hit it full speed (about four miles an hour) right on the crown of my head, and I literally bounced backwards, and onto my ass, legs in the air. My backpack cushioned the blow, but I lay there, kilt around my waist, for about five full minutes, laughing at myself (after I determined the stars were going away). Good thing no one else was around, because I definitely showed what was under my kilt!

Sorry, guys, I'm a little late on this one. What is the story behind "the arse/ass over the teakettle"?
Anyone care to relate it?

Turn of phrase longshadows, no biggie. Hey Ron, I hope they sponsered YOU for your Launchathon. That's gotta be worth $10.

Cheers,
Erin
