Like Rocky when I am asked why I am wearing a kilt, or more commonly are you Scottish/Irish I decide what I feel like. Do I want to have a long conversation with this person and explain to them I am actually more German than anything else, but they are comfortable, or do I just want to keep doing what I am doing and not talk to anyone in which case I answer the question I have enough Scottish in my past to wear a kilt so I do.

The thing I have realized most while being out is that I am mostly asked questions when waiting in lines where people are bored and are looking for something to talk about. Most of the time I feel like talking too. You can meet a lot of people you wouldn't otherwise meet, and some of them are really great.
