The kilt cannot be universally accepted

[Tom Fiddles]

"Again I would not wear the kilt in many Muslim countries where it may look insulting to their beliefs or by others interpreting it as cross-dressing."


OK. So, I live on Philadelphia, and I ride the subway and the regional rail lines to work every day.

Last year on St. Andrew's Day I am wearing my kilt, vest, and Argyle Jacket. On the subway.

At one subway station a Muslim man gets on the train, wearing his long robe that is in a plaid pattern. He looks at me. I look at him.

And I say, "Nice tartan there lad."

He laughs. I laugh. All the people around us on the train start laughing! It was priceless.
