Why Do Some Take Such Offense...

It doesn't bug me at all.

I had a waiter comment one evening, " nice skirt". I politely corrected him. It was probably the best and most attentive service I have ever had.

My usual reply to the "nice skirt" comment is along the lines of, "Thanks, for $500 it ought to be". But since a kilt is a skirt by definition a simple thank you is really sufficient.

I like that one. Good to hear from you again! It's been a while.
