    Todays all-time *huh*? response for seeing me in a kilt

    I've got on my usual togs....kilt, boots, rolled down grey socks, long sleeved solid shirt. I'm coming down the hall and one of the University maintenance guys is pushing his tool cart along and spots me.....and this is what he shouts out!

    Hey, I'm from Minnesota, too!

    ooohhhh-kaaaayyyy.... Hm.

    I'm not even wearing the Minnesota State tartan.

    I finally did get an explanation out of him that made some sort of twisted sense. Something about his brother in law wearing a kilt and being from Minnesota.

    The only thing more daunting than an evil genious, is a bored one.
