Kilted Russian at Waffle House

**fudgeman** · 22nd September 08, 06:24 PM

So a kilted guy (me) goes into a Waffle House. (Stop me if you've heard this one). First three latinos (two guys and a gal) whistle--actually it was one of the guys whistling--and he says "love your kilt man". OK, I'm off to a good start! Next, my red haired waiter (not waitress) says "I'm Scottish, yawdy yawdy yaw...". Still on a roll. We finish and I'm walking up to the cash register and this 20ish guy says "Sir, I love your kilt". I'm thinking--OK my fears of going kilted into a Waffle House late at night were unfounded. As I'm paying, I hear a commotion at a nearby booth (I didn't look) and some guy says "What is he Russian?" His buddy says "He's Scottish, you idiot."

So ends my first kilted foray into the late night world of Waffle House. :food-smiley-002:

You should have looked at him and said "dos vedanya drug". "Drug" is pronounced droog . . it means friend in Russian (referencing a male friend)

That's as good as when a woman asked if I spoke English.

Of course.

I was in Grand Central Station, having a bite while on my way home from the Highland Games a few weeks ago.

She then asked how long I had been in the country.

After I told her that I was a native, she responded that she had never seen a man in a kilt before.

When I asked her where she was from, she replied Dayton, Ohio.

It's a chain of greasy spoon diners popular in the South. The kind of place where you don't have to order grits; they just come.

My default answer for that question is "no."

I have always said you tell whether you were in the North or South by checking the local Waffle House. In the South, grits are standard. In the North, you have a choice between grits or hash browns.

And yes, they do have them in the North; they're just not as common: one per town instead of one per neighborhood.
