    Work encounter

    I ordered one of Stillwater Kilts' tartan neckties in Stewart Black to go with one of my kilts. I picked it up at the post office a little while ago (Nice tie, BTW). We have some work being done right now, and one of the drywall guys was working just the other side of my desk. I'm checking out the tie and he suddenly says "Black Stewart, right?"

    "Right," I say. "Nice call."

    "My girlfriend's Scottish. Her family are all into kilt's and stuff."

    I asked him if he had a kilt.

    "Nah, I can't wear one. I'm not Scottish."

    I told him about X Marks, gave him the web address. He says he's going to check the place out.

    Hope he gets here.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…

    Good work, I take it you weren't kilted at work. it's a shame had you been able to stand up from your desk to show him how great it is to be kilted.
