My Thesis Defense Outfit

The week of the anniversaries of the last Jacobite revolution, the abdication of Mary Queen of Scots, and the Battle of Falkirk...

... I decide to defend my PhD thesis in a Stuart kilt.

Now *that* is real. Wouldn't you agree?

Nice reasoning, nice outfit. I have only one question. Do you have any knees?

I'll buy the reasoning. What was the board's reaction to the kilt?

>Do you have any knees?

LOL! Yeah, I didn't have the belt tight so it kept slipping down. That kilt has something like 43 pleats in the back. I bought it off of a piper who worked in the MoD across the pond.

>What was the board's reaction to the kilt?

My adviser didn't know I was Scottish. He thought I was just weird.

I think the better question was, "When you let your adviser hold your weapons, what was his reaction?" LOL!
