I just got done with 2 weeks of grand jury duty in Brooklyn and was the recipient of more than a few stares and comments as I walked through the courthouse in my kilts.

The guards all asked when the bagpipes were coming in or when I was going to start marching. I had my rugby warm up jacket on and someone said I should try playing rugby in my kilt to which I responded, "You think I haven't?"

The district attorneys all got a kick out of the guy in the "skirt." On one of the rare days when I didn't wear a kilt, I was doing the crossword puzzle when an ADA walked in to start us up on a new case. Not really paying attention to where she was I blurted out the answer to one clue that was giving me problems and said, "There's no accounting for taste." The female ADA joking looked at her own outfit to which I said, "Hey...I've worn kilts in all week...." Before I could finish the sentence she said, "So you're the kilt guy! All the ADAs are talking about you and some people want to schedule cases with your jury just so they can see them."

Ah....a mini-celebrity for a day....
