Wearing the kilt backwards

**pbpersson** · 28th June 06, 09:53 PM

Many of you have expressed utter amazement that anyone could be so stupid as to wear a kilt backwards.

I was thinking of this last night and the fact of the matter is that kilts are just not that common in everyday life and you don't see them that often (yes, there is the Internet which is the Oracle of all knowledge but pretend for a moment that you have been living on the moon and don't know about it).

Now imagine that someone hands you a kilt and says "here, put this on". Wouldn't you naturally assume that you SIT DOWN on the flat part so as not to crush the pleats and you wear it with the decorative pleats in the front so everyone can see them?

I mean....it sort of seems logical, doesn't it?

Yes, Phil, you are brave. However, there is no defense for the stupid things utterly clueless people do.

How many Xmarkers does it take to turn one of those clueless persons kilts around so it's on frontwards. Answer:

Six. Two to hold the kilt and the otherr four to spin the guy around inside it. It also requires a lot of Single malt as "lubrication" for all involved.

**sorcererdale** · 29th June 06, 05:39 AM

Oh I thought it was two to hold the kilt, two to turn the person, and two who couldn't do anything because they were laughing so hard.

DALE.

If you put your kilt on backwards you're going to spend a lot of time fiddilin' with the buckles.

Well....I'm commenting from total ignorance because I have never seen a kilt up close but did they think they were just supposed to lift the kilt in the men's room? Take off the kilt in the men's room?

I don't know....but the groom and all the groomsmen made the same misake so I'm just trying to imagine what they were thinking...
