I like your Skirt

[RockyR]

I was at a grocery getting some things for my wife in the produce department yesterday and asked a another lady customer there clad in all pink sweats for some help with what I was looking at. After she helped me she said "I like your skirt" she said it in a "Very Positive way" so I was not offended but I did tell her it was a kilt. She said she knew that as if she was just saying a kilt is a type of skirt to her. She was familiar with Irish Kilts etc. I am not really hung up on that skirt issue as I consider it a mans type of skirt anyway. I just don't like other people in listening range to hear it called a skirt like that.

After I corrected her I realized very quickly that this was one person that I did not need to as she was very positive and complimaentary about how she said it and I took it that way at the onset. She was very sweet.

We talked a short time and she mentioned that they wore them in a couple movies "Brave Heart" being one of them and I thanked her for the encourgement.

As we both turned to go away she looked back over her shoulder with a smile on her face and said "They didn't wear underwear under theirs" .....I just smiled and said "I will leave that with you" as she grinned and went on with her shopping.

Grocery stores are an interesting place to wear a kilt. Because of the close quarters, you're more likely to get a comment or two. The comments have dropped off at the stores I frequent... I think it's time to seek new territory.

I'm at the point where I honestly don't care.

When I came to a house while I was going door to door in my legislative race, earlier this year a lady opened her door and criticized my beard.

She said she was reluctant to vote for me because she believed men should be clean-shaven. This was the focus of her concerns in regards to who should go to Boise and decide the future of Medicaid, taxes, and various other issues.

She said she'd read my brochure, as I walked away she said, "Nice skirt" in a derisive tone. I replied, "Thank you." and moved on to the next house.

Elijah campaigning for election in a Kilt? What were you thinking? You need to have some wisdom here my friend... Sorry but as much as I want to wear a kilt, that would not be my choice of attire going door to door if I was running for an elected office. But I admire your guts...

Hmmm, seems to me that if Jesus can wear a beard and a MUG starting up a new faith that Elijah should be able to wear a beard and a MUG to run for state office....

Just my opinion...

I agree that he can, just can't expect to get elected doing so. The beard is no problem in my view but the kilt won't win him many votes.

And Jesus did not start a new faith BTW but I will leave it with that..
