    A Comment That "Got Me."

    So hey, I'm at work. USA Casual in Prince of Wales, matching flashes, off white kilt hose (I know, but I like it) and off white shirt.

    I'm working with a client near my age. Focus is on retirement and figureing out how to afford retirement.

    Client looks at me and says with all sincerity, "So, are you going to move back to Scotland when you retire?"

    Well, are you?

    My favourite comment was when my wife and I arrived at a guest house. The owner was showing us upstairs to our room and then said "are you performing tonight?"

    I laughed and suggested that what we do in bed is our business.

    I knew what she meant, but couldn't resist a joke. My wife explained that I wear kilts all the time and it was my normal attire.

    How about this come back: 'Only if I am from Scotland.'
