Ran the gauntlet of reactions today..

**weeknee** · 21st July 12, 08:04 PM

Went to a wedding reception today in a tux. I was asked by a few of the guests why I was not kilted. After the formalities of the reception, I slipped out and got my kilt on. I must admit, I was far more comfortable kilted than the monkey suit. Upon my return to the reception, I was met with the whole shebang of reactions. Young girls laughed, some raised an eyebrow, others were openly offended, and oddly enough......older women were rather turned on. Thanx to the folks here at X Marks, I was able to handel all reactions in a civil way.
One fellow, whom I had never met before and had been giving me static while in the tux, came to me and demanded to know "Whats up with the skirt?"
My reply," Its only a skirt if I wear underwear"
Stopped him dead in his tracks, and didnt talk to me the rest of the evening.

Thanx again guys for the guidence.

That happens with older women. Something to do with fondly remembered youth, I'm told.

Sounds like you did OK with the situation.

**MrLion** · 21st July 12, 10:22 PM

Sounds well handled sir!

Two older women were very forward and kept trying to hike my kilt.

Isn't there a joke or twelve about old ladies getting a pint or three (of Gin) in them and behaving badly?

In any case, well done, Sir! Especially the bit about shutting the offending loudmouth up for the balance of the evening.

I'd say it's more of an astute observation than a joke.

I only know the joke about the two old ladies having a stroke, but the third couldn't reach.

The only older ladies attending my wedding are my aunts, so I'm pretty sure they'll behave.
