    $10 For Wearing A Kilt

    Sometimes the Ol' Coyote is good.

    This afternoon I'm walking in my local supermarket in my RKilts Sage Green Leather kilt. A lady leaving stops me and makes some positive remarks about how good it is to see a man in a kilt. Then she hands me a store coupon for $10 off whatever I buy.

    She said she was headed out of town and couldn't use it. So, I saved $10 today at the supermarket.

    Don't think it would have happened if I'd been bifurcated.

    Gotta love it!

    I had a similar experience in a supermarket here (Sainsburys). I had just flown back from Edinburgh in kilt, jacket etc. A lady who worked there handed me some money off vouchers for similar amount "because it looked so nice". Very kind.
    A kilt always goes down well in Ireland - both North and South.

    by mathematical reasoning, you would have $20 (ok, perhaps not)

    $10 (US) saved is $10 toward another kilt.

    Stuff like this does happen - New Year's Days we went to our local nature reserve and me and the boys were kilted.
    I got out of the car to buy a prking permit and a young lday rushes over and hands me her permit which still had 4 hours on it as the boys looked cute and I looked handsome. I won't post the wife's response to the last comment, but I'm sure it was in jest...
