I've been getting over a bit of lower-back pain this past week. Today, I treated myself (and my back) to a massage.

I wore my Black Watch SWK. After a few questions...are you Scottish, what did you think the first time you wore one (which I thought was a great question, by the way)...we got down to business. After the massage, when I went to pay, she had a little trouble running my card through the machine. "It's bent from your butt," she told me.

I looked at her and said, "what?"

"It's bent from your butt. It's bent from your butt," she repeated, running the card through again and again.

I took two steps back from the counter...looked down at my open sporran...looked her right in the eyes and smiled.

I'll bet she's not so quick to use that line again.
