    Kilted Hugs

    So when I'm at a Highland Games and see a lady wearing a Kilt Inspector shirt I freeze, extend my arms horizontally to my side...basically assume the TSA position for further inspection.

    So there was only one lady in a kilt inspector shirt at the Flagstaff games yesterday. When I saw her I stopped and assumed the TSA inspection position. She laughed and thought my outstretched arms meant I wanted a hug - so she came over and hugged me...then her husband came over and hugged me and their young son hugged my legs!

    Hugs are nice but I finally stammered out, "But I wanted to be inspected!" Which gave them another laugh as they walked away....leaving me well hugged, but still uninspected....

    I've gotta remember the "TSA inspection position" next time I run into one of those gals in an inspection shirt! Sounds like fun.

    I was a bit worried for ya when you mentioned the lady's husband. Reading on, I was relieved and amused that every person in the family hugged you, even the kid. That's such a great story.

    Maybe you could commission a "Free Hugs" kilt pin.

    Ron, my Bellagona friend......the last person that inspected you in a kilt needed therapy for years and they still have symptoms of PTSD.....I'd settle for a group hug if I was you......LOL.

    PTSD? If the lady is gonna wear the shirt then she should be ready for where her inspections may lead her.....
