    Are you a true Scotsman?

    At Kilt's night the other night here in Vancouver, and there were a couple of Scottish young women attending. They were just visiting and couldn't believe all the gents in kilts. One, who must have been about 20, asked me if I was Scottish, I replied as I usually do when asked, that my name is John Fraser Stuart Mackinnon. Ohhh! she squealed you are a Scot! But then she cocked her head and looked quizzicaly and said But are you a 'true' Scotsman? (Ah I thought, THE question at last) I replied that that was for me to know and her to find out. She then put on a pout and asked where I was born. When I replied Vancouver, she said Yer never a true Scotsman! With that she turned and left me in the dust.

    Later that evening another (local) woman caught me unaware and lifted my kilt; she then remarked very nice and waltzed away! Ya just can't win for losing...

    Before you judge someone be sure to walk a mile in their kilt.
    That way you are at least a mile away and you have their kilt...

    Why can't the nice Scottish girls go abroad and make a good example?

    DNA testing

    Just tell them that you have had a DNA test proving you are scotish.. Confuses them all the time

    I am looking forward to the next Vancouver Kilt night - sorry to have missed the last one

    Good story. I'm wondering if the lady who kilt-checked you went and told her you were a true Scotsman.
