    I like that response. I should pull out my harmonica and do the same thing. That is one question I do get on occasion, as I'm sure I don't have to tell anyone. Any time you can confuse 'em, they're more likely to leave you alone.

    Well here is one that is PG-13.

    Yesterday at the convenience store the lady standing in front of me in line makes the ***-umption that I play bagpipes.

    Her: "You playing today?"
    Me; "No, working."
    Her: (confused) "Oh? What do you do for a living where you would have to wear a kilt?"
    Me: "Oh, I breed sheep." (a lot of good responses start out this way)
    Her: "I don't understand. Why would you wear a kilt as a sheep breeder?"
    (he shoots... he SCORES!!!)
    Me: "Well you see, it's a lot easier to chase after them when they get away with your kilt up than with your pants down."

    Her brain went into complete meltdown trying to figure out if I was serious or not. She left the store very quickly after that.

    DAMN! Glad I wasn't eating or drinking anything! Very few people around here comment at all. The bagpipe question is kinda rare too. Generally I get looks that are either puzzled or a smile but few say anything at all. The most frequent question is "Is there an event today?"

    My mother in law and a close friend of hers stopped in to look at hot tubs here at work yesterday and the first thing that came out of the friend's mouth was "I love Utilikilts," looks at Maureen, "I like him already!"

    Granted from a woman in her mid-sixties, but a compliment is a compliment.

    Hey, I'm well into 60 and have had great fun with women in their mid sixties.
