    "It's Ugly"

    Well, when I got home last Monday (was it just last Monday? Seems so long ago in X-Marks Posts) my wife was at the kitchen table and the package from SWK was too. But she was paying no attention to it (can't understand that). I sort of nonchalantly absconded with it to the bedroom and tore it open. Tried it on. Liked it, so I took out the pleats and tried it with a few accessories. Next day I pressed it and hung it in our shared closet. It took her until last night to notice it. She brings it out and says "You didn't tell me the kilt had arrived." I reply "Yes it came on Monday. I thought you saw the package." Whereupon, she states her opinion of the garment: "But it's so ugly!". This gave me the opening to inform her that I have a Modern Gordon traditional on order that will look much better. Her rejoinder - "But this one's so ugly." I just shrugged and said "OK." She walked away muttering something about passive-aggressive...

    I think that qualifies as a draw.
