xylophones? huh?

Today I was walking in to work, kilted up of course. This woman comes bounding down the stairs and rushes over to me. She bellows...

I'll ask him!

....which I think she was saying into her hands-free cell phone....and then breathlessly asks me.

"Hi. I saw the kilt! Do you make xylophones?"

Honest. Seriously. This happened to me, today. In fact there was something like a logical reason, but I have to say that while I've heard the bagpipe question about 46 million times, this one was a new one for me.

Wow. That is so random!

What was the logical reason?

Were you wearing the German-American tartan?
She was obviously confused and meant to say glockenspiel.

I was thinking Marimba

Duh... Wha...?

That question is so obscure, I would be compelled to answer honestly, "Why yes I do".

Not just any xylophones, eco-friendly xylophones!

I could only guess that perhaps you fit the general, physical description of a known xylophone maker. Perhaps said individual is a kilt-wearer even...
