    a funny encounter at the coffee shop

    So yesterday I've got on the Black Watch Stillwater , doing my usual thing at work. I take a break and trot downstairs to hit the coffee kiosk. Lo and behold as I walk up this...

    *faints* ....very *attractive* young lady in a somewhat non-traditional, non-ultra-mini, but *Very* nice kilt skirt in Hunting Stewart winds up one person ahead of me in line.

    I was a Male Pig I, admit it. I stared. I olged. I hyperventilated. She had nice hair, too, and lots of it. Nice little boots. Arrrgh. I finally said "I like your skirt. That's the Hunting Stewart tartan isn't it?"

    She gave me a deer-in-the-headlights look and said, "I don't know"...looked at my kilt once, and fled.

    Oh, well.

    ***************************

    For the record, I'm hitched (and happily so) but not dead, you know? Nothing wrong with saying hello to a pretty lass. This one didn't know how to process "kilt" though...chuckling..or maybe it was the raw, unquenchable sexuality I, Mister kilted-nearly-50-year-old-IT-geek exuded that did her in.

    That's great Alan,
    Possibly she was just stupified by your knowledge of the tartan she was wearing, when she just thought she was wearing a skirt!

    Then she turns around, and you are wearing a Kilt, ..........and she can't find a comeback to it!

    Perhaps you should wipe the drool off first?

    I get it Alan, you are on a caffeine diet but you are still looking at the menu. Just because the menu you see is wearing a Hunting Stewart and you get to question her about it I see where she gives you the deer in the headlights look. She just is not use to the comment!

    Great story, I love coffee shop tales.

    She was likely telling the truth. Nor did she probably care. No doubt she wondered why you did. Typical.

    I think it was the drool and the fact that your tongue was down by your knees that probably scared her off! ;)
