A new twist on "The Question"

[Wareyin]

I think it's a fairly simple thing. First take the kilt out of the equation, and then ask yourself how you'd feel about a stranger wanting to know if you're wearing underwear.

Oh, I know how I feel about people asking me about my underwear, I'm just curious if people have found a tactful way to respond. I realize the question is rude, and so excuses a rude response; I just like to be as polite as I can while deflecting such a query.

Pretty tough to go wrong with something along the lines of "sorry but that's really none of your business". Pretty tactful and reasonably polite, and doesn't really invite further questions.

You might try "I can keep a secret but I don't know whether you can!"

I like that!

I have used a variation by asking "Can you keep a secret? Good so can I."

So far I have yet get a follow up question after that one.
