    It's maybe ridiculous, but I hate the bagpipe question most of all.

    "Isn't it cold?"....I understand.
    "What's under?"...pretty lame, but okey.
    "Where's the bagpipe?...I HATE that question.

    Welcome btw :grin:

    Thanks Robin....the best thing about the entire week came when we broke for lunch I headed outside to grab some food. I heard this woman behind me go, "Oh for heaven's sake. It's like they've never seen a kilt before in their life..."

    Apparently some police officers were pointing and staring as I left the courthouse...

    Keep in mind...a lame remark always comes from someone who is narrow minded...says more about them. To be ignored, or just look them straight in the eyes...not too long...waste of time and energy.

    Today I went to work on my day off, because some waitresses didn't seen me kilted...they asked me to drop by to show it.

    My boss (he's an *******....sexist, racist, xenofobic, narrow minded...and pathetic in general) started to make funny remarks...I just gave him the "you are dirt" look. The waitresses on the other hand...they loved it..."sexy!", "manly!", "cool!" and so on, and so on....

    Great lines and great story. Sounds like you have the wit and confidence to wear the kilt and not let anybody's comments get under your skin.

    Depending on how brave you are feeling.....

    Q. "Where are your bagpipes?"

    A. "Under my kilt....want to see them?"
