    How do you respond?

    Aside from "the Question", what is the one (or two) question(s) you most often get about wearing your kilts, and what is your most frequent response to it?

    The one that pops up a lot for me is:

    "Hey man, where's your bagpipes?" to which I typically reply "Under my kilt!" This is always good for a laugh together, and tends to disarm any initial malicious intent.

    Depending on the situation and the person asking, I may add "Wanna give 'em a toot?"

    #1 (and only because I hear it EVERY time I run into this individual - which is almost every time I'm kilted) - "Ah geez... how can you wear that, skirt-boy?" To which my reply is typically "Get bent, Jim." (He's coming around slowly.)

    #2 - "Are you Scotch?" "No, but I have a bit of Scotch in me, and I'm planning on increasing the amount soon!"

    Lately it's "...aren't you cold?"

    The response: "No....it's wool...it's really quite toasty."

    Why are you wearing a kilt?

    Because my wife thinks I look hot in it and I'd bet your's would as well.
    OR
    Becuase I want to.
    I strive to be the person that my little boy and my dog think I am and to live in a place where a chicken can cross the road without having it's motives questioned.

    Q: "Why are you wearing a skirt?"
    A: "Because you're an ignorant ****"

    Q: "What are you, gay or something?"
    A: "Nope. But I am Gaelic!"

    My most frequent reply to The Question...

    "Dreadlocks."

    You can actually see the brain damage taking place as they try to think about that.

    That's the question I get the most, almost everytime I wear my Kilt. I always laugh when people ask me, I find it funny, because I know they think it's the first time I've heard it . I usually answer with "Under my Kilt" or "I left 'em at home". I haven't been taunted by any questions about my Kilts, 'cept for my family, but that's all in fun.

    I've had people ask, and not being satisified with whatever smart reply I gave them at time, kept trying to look up it....

    I flashed someone for that once, and then she gave me her phone number, unfortunately midget sex isn't my thing, so I didn't follow it up.
