Best quips/retorts to Kilt questions...

**UmAnOnion** · 22nd January 06, 10:26 AM

was out with friends in kilts last night and got hit with the "where's your bagpipes" question - 2 of us (in what sounded like perfect stereo) came back with UNDER MY KILT!!!
this shut up the questioner & set the group (and the smart ***'s friends) to laughing uproariously for the next 15 minutes.

Thanks to whoever gave me that one!!!

I got the "aren't you cold" question when my wife and I were Christmas shopping and I responded, "are you kidding, I've got 4 yards of fabric wrapped around my butt." Got a good laugh and a thumbs up.

My new favorite works best in a bold scottish brouge: "THE LOCH NESS MONSTER..!"

On a recent trip to L.A., I did receive one negative comment. It was clear from his tone he meant to be disparaging.
I made eye contact and with more than a hint of saracasm said, "Oh no. A random stranger doesn't approve of how I'm dressed. How will I ever live with the shame..." and walked off. As far as I know, he's still standing there trying to think of a come back.

I don't generally get too many comments. Most of my kilt wearing is done at reenactments, or while piping. However, when I'm asked what I wear under the kilt my most frequent response is "That depends upon the company, the occasion and the temperature. Not necessarily in that order". If it's a male of the twit species the answer is sometimes "I'm always a bit puzzled when another guy takes an interest in the state of my underwear. Is there some reason it interests you?"

I was walking through a pub the other night when an attractive young lass tried to call me over to her table. I just knew she was going to ask the dumb question, so I ignored her and kept walking.

I couldn't be bothered with silly people.

Since I'm still single (and love the attention), I think I would have let her "bother" me.;)

The only bad remark I ever received was from the typical cowardly idiot yelling out of the moving car. You have to do your best to ignore them.

Of course, I sometimes get the looks from across the street and such, but I don't let them bother me. All the people who have approached me have always been very nice, if somewhat misinformed at times.
