    "A fanny pack won't cut it, you need a sporran."

    had to point out it was a nylon cargo sporran, with pockets and all. He seemed ok with it, but he said i need a deerskin one. Next is a fur one though...

    I once had someone say to me, "What's with the little ball sack?" I was wearing a tartan kilt with my very nice Thorfinn sporran. Some people!

    To which, the only appropriate answer is to snicker and say: "Still bigger than yours, buddy."

    I once had a young Mennonite (Germanic) lady ask me about my "Murse" (man purse). I explained that it was called a sporran and she replied "Ah, that's what a sporran is".
