didn't see that one coming...
Today, I wore my Scottish National kilt with my XMarks t-shirt to work. As I'm heading toward the stairs to go to lunch, a guy a little ahead of me stops on the stairs & is turned around looking at me with a big grin on his face. When I catch up to him, he asks what's my clan. I tell him, Robertson, & he volunteers that he's clan MacTavish. Nothing particularly unusual about this exchange, right? Except that this dude is black! Wow, I didn't see that one coming!
I asked if he had a kilt in his clan tartan & he said, yeah, & we both agreed on how comfortable kilts are before heading seperate ways. I didn't think until afterwards that I should've asked if he also had a Black Watch kilt. :rolleyes:
The Great Melting Pot, indeed...

Happiness? I'd settle for being less annoyed!!!
