There was a good thread some time ago about people making weird assumptions about where kilts are from, like the guy hollering "Hey Switzerland" at Ron, or in one case asking the kiltie if he was a Rabbi!

Shortly after that thread was popular, I was double-timing about 100 yards through a mall parking lot, running late for a get-together. And I was wearing my saffron kilt. This black guy and his girl by their car had been watching me the whole time, and as I passed them at a trot, from behind me he hollers; "Man, what are you wearing?"

I was in a hurry, and that thread popped into my mind, so I said "It's OK, I'm a Rabbi!" over my shoulder and kept moving. Then I heard him say "oh he's Jewish" like it all made sense to him now!
