    Whole week - no pants!

    For the first time I've spent a whole week kilted - at work and at home. As a surveyor, my work time was spent on jobs with construction workers(heavy equipment operators), staking waterlines, roads and staking lots in new subdivisions. There were some snickers, some were interested in why I was doing it (Are you Scottish?), but I just decided that I was going to do it regardless of what other people might think. One thing is obvious - I'm going to need more kilts to keep this up!
    Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or a fool from any direction.

    No rub at all....gotta have more kilts...just gotta...after you wear out the tartan lineages in your family tree you start buying them to have a tartan in "that color."

    Course, there are all the Workman's type kilts to buy too. Pretty soon you match the color you order to the shirts you already have.

    Yeah, sometimes you gotta buy your FREEDOM...but its more than worth it.

    Isn't it great not wearing pants?
    When I got my first kilt (my 21st birthday present to myself) I took the whole week off of work and wore my kilt all week and it sure was nice.
    Moo.

    I'm still doing p*nts at the office, but I can vividly remember our family vacation last year: Two weeks, and not one pair of bifurcated garments came along.

    Boy did it feel good!

    Keep up the good work!

    If this is the men's department, where are the kilts?

    I have'nt worn pants all week, either. But then, I'm unemployed and have no where to go.
    Still, out, standing in my field.
    Never do anything that you would not want to explain to the paramedics.
