    An Unexpected Compliment

    So I'm at work today - its hectic and it was not a kilted day at work. I'm wearing jeans and working at detox. Got a call to go over to the local hospital emergency room to help a suicidal drunk. A draining afternoon. When things were stabilized I was walking back to my car in the hospital parking lot and there in front of me is an attractive lady kissing a line of three people as they load into their car.

    I impulsively say, "I wanna get in this line!"

    She looks at me and smiles broadly and says, "Where's your kilt? You're the most handsome man I've ever seen in a kilt.!"

    Sadly, I don't remember where I know her from AND she's wearing a wedding ring...

    How cool is it to get a kilt compliment when wearing Wranglers?

    Ladies remember!

    Kinda took the edge off a difficult afternoon. Shoulda asked if she had a single sister.....

    Atta Boy Ron! WTG!

    I went in to pay for my son's new shocks on his truck and the cashier looked at me funny and said "don't you usually wear a kilt?" (I was in last month for the same thing on my car") when I told her I don't wear them all the time she said "well you should! I just dig guys in Kilts!" Ah the Power of The Kilt!

    What a great story! Thanks for what you do....I know that it can be a pretty tough gig some times, and that kind of an encounter can sure lift the spirits.

    Ron, that is just so funny! If I was that girl, I probably would have given you a kiss for making me laugh.

    I think if she wasn't married and if her husband wasn't walking up a ways behind me that she might have...she was already in kissing mode with three big smooches delivered...

    A kissing line at the hospital, huh? I always thought they tried to discourage the exchange of body fluids at those places.

    May I ask what happened with the ladyfriend from a week or so ago? Maybe she'll kiss you.
