Slap the cuffs on me...I want my lawyer.

I wish I could put an end once and for all to this business that if you kneel down the kilt should touch the floor! If what were true, the kilt would actually be BELOW the knee, and far too long!

Isnt that the how the headmaster used to measure how long a girls skirt should be?

Yes, in my high school it was the "chair test:" kneel on a chair, and if it touched the chair, it was OK. Out of school hours, an 18-inch miniskirt was "pushing the envelope."

At that time, girls were not allowed to wear pants at all (to school), and no one was allowed to wear jeans.

And you try and tell the young people of today that. .... they won't believe you

Boy, that brings back memories. I went to an American high school in England in the late 60s when the mini-skirt was quite the fashion, especially there. Teachers would stop the girls and measure their skirt length. Girls could only wear pants if they were part of a matched pants suit, and absolutely no one was allowed to wear jeans at any time, and t-shirts and shorts were strictly for PE.

Several of my kilts would be judged too long by the kilt police, but it isn't the kilts that are too long, it's my legs that are too short.

Another possible response to a Kilt Kop:

"Thank you for sharing the fruits of your many years of daily kilt-wearing."

Because the Kop personality is unlikely even to recognize irony, much less appreciate it, this response is likely to produce welcome silence.

Yep, putting that one in the file! It's great since 99.5% of the Kilt/Tartan Kops I've encountered are not wearing kilts or tartan.

That goes right up there with the young punk (sorry, it's the only accurate word) with his friends that called me a (derogatory term for male homosexual). Now normally, I do not respond to such, since my orientation is my business, and, and I don't harbor any homophobic tendencies anyway. But with Michele on my arm, I could not resist. "I'm with my beautiful girlfriend, you're with your boyfriend, and I'm the (derogatory term for male homosexual)?

[Thomas H]

it's interesting how people will view us in Kilts, as being lesser of a Man. Untill
someone throws a Caber or Weight and then its a whole other stroy.
I teach sunday school at church and My class all knows I wear Kilts .
But never once was anything bad said ,
People just look and turn there heads like a cow stairing at a new Gate.
I just have fun with it.

See you learn something new every day on here
