    Kilting For Health

    Received this email from a friend of 16 years yesterday. He's 65 years old.

    "I have varicose veins surrounding my left testicle which have to be surgically repaired."

    Don't know that wearing pants caused that, but sure couldn't have helped. Don't know if that happens to guys who are kilted for life. Did suggest that he order up some kilts now to help improve his comfort after surgery.

    Wonder if there are any urology studies about the testicular health hazards of wearing pants and/or the testicular health benefits of wearing kilts.

    Yikes! I didn't even know that was possible. I remember there being a discussion not too long ago over in Bravehearts about the relationship between certain diseases & the wearing of trousers. One of the men revealed that he had a rather embarassing condition which was aggravated by trousers but cleared up when he switched to kilts.

    During the discussion none of us could remember or find reference to any scientific study of this topic.

    There are an awful lot of men who live to ripe old ages, with no testicular problems, wearing pants all the way.

    I like kilts, too, but let's not assign magical powers to them.

    We all know that kiltmakers sprinkle a bit a bit of magic on every kilt... at least it worked for me!

    When I wear a kilt:
    I can walk faster
    I can jump further
    I can leap tall buildings with a single bound

    The kilt has:
    cleared up all my tackle problems
    caused hair to grow back on my legs
    cured cancer
    made me more attractive to women
    and sent me finacially to the wall.

    Witches need brooms, men only need kilts!

    Only kidding Bob, you do have a point, we need to check the facts, but it is not uncommon to hear of kilts helping the health in "that" area.

    I am a strong advocate of natural health, have been for 35 years, I seriously consider wearing kilts to be beneficial to the health.

    I am much happier while kilted, and that permeates throught my entire well being, so yes I am healthier while kilted.
