    My Kilt made me do it!

    I just spent the last 2 hours ironing and starching shirts. What's so strange about that, a nicely ironed shirt sets off any kilt? Why am I suprised and dismayed you might ask? These are the shirts that I wear with p@$%s! Have I finaly slipped my last cog, or is this something I just must accept?

    Don't worry, sounds like you're going to get plenty of chance to brush up.

    Sometimes just putting on a kilt makes you want to dress neater. Iron away and enjoy the kilt!!!

    Accept it. Kilt wearing does make one a snappy dresser.

    I find it hard NOT to dress up nicer when I put on a kilt. I'll spend more time and thought about what to wear than if just donning a pair of jeans. The ironing part becomes the final touch to the outfit I'll be wearing that day.

    X2 - I wear jeans and a polo shirt to work every day (and I'm one of the best dressed ) but when I put on the kilt I spend 20 minutes picking out my cloths and asking my wife what looks best.

    simple reminders of the power of the kilt.

    They sent me to a 12-step program for this problem. I just didn't look crapy enough for Spokane. By the way, I did not graduate from the program. Yes, it's a matter of pride to look good and the kilt will make you do it. And the admiring glances of the lasses too.
