    The greatest compliment and..

    One of the companies I work with invited me to Ruth's Chris Steak House for a recognition dinner. I knew most of the guys there owned 20-30 million a year shops and allways dress the part. So, I went with the Angus tank, white shirt, red tie, black argyle jacket. An hour in, an aquantence from N KY comes over and says something to the effect of, we spoke for 15 minutes and I didn't realize you were kilted.
    Wear it proudly, you are still just you.
    Before I left, stopped at the gents room. An unknown walked in and said, never seena skirt in the men's room before. To which I replyed, you still haven't. He laughed at himself, said that was certianly the best comeback he had ever heard.
