    What's your favorite comment?

    This week I received a new USAFR PB kilt from Barb T. I am retired from the Air Force and was very much looking forward to wearing it on Veteran's Day. As it turned out, one of my colleagues at work hosted a large party on Friday evening. I wore my kilt. As I expected, I was the only one kilted. I received a number of positive comments throughout the evening, but the best was when my wife and I were walking past one fellow. As we walked past, he commented, "Wait a second - I need a moment to take in the coolness of it all."
    That got me thinking about how many nice things folks have said to me when I've been kilted. So, I thought I'd ask the Rabble to pass along their favorite comment.

    Well, the one that stands out to me most is "Nice outfit, I like that" from a young female cashier in a very rural southern mom&pop grocery store, mostly because I didn't expect it. It was in an area where a man in a business suit would be looked at with suspicion and where bib-overalls or camo hunting suits are the uniform of the day! On the other hand, it was also an area with a lot of early Scottish settlers.

    In a music festival campground on a hot summer day; a young man to his friends in an envious voice: “His are cool, and mine are hot.”

    And of course from women: "Can I?"

    I had a fellow tell me that me wished he had the . . . shall we say, " intestinal fortitude"--to wear the kilt It was intended as a great compliment.

    And then, there was the very attaractive young lady who told me that she'd always wanted to see a man in a kilt, and that she liked it as much as she tought she would. I was only a very mild flirtation if a flirtation at all, but it was nicely phrased.

    Several times I've had women say, "I love a man in a kilt!" One lady, although drunk, did me a pinch.

    I get "I like your outfit" a lot and "Looks great".

    I was volunteer ushering at our local theatre for a kid's performance and a wee lass, no more than five or six probably, stopped, put her hands on her hips, looked me up and down and told me she loved my kilt...made my day.

    My favourite comment is from one of my sons.
    "Nice legs dad, are you breaking them in for an emu"?
