Could be that the guy IS from Africa or just an African American who thinks that the clothes are cool and wants to celebrate HIS heritage. Somehow a kilt seems to trigger some kind of mental mechanism that allows people to feel entitled to invade my privacy. And forget "the question"...do I go around inquiring about anybody else's underwear or lack of it? No, I do not.

And I DO try to be good natured about it and I DO try to be a good "ambassador" for the kilt...I try not to sully the image of the kilted by being rude or nasty...but some people insist on being @$$#º!?$ and patience only goes so far.

As I was walking over to the St. Pat's parade last Sunday, I got several insults...and this was on my way to the ST. PAT'S PARADE...one woman yelled out, "I always wondered what was under those kilts!" and I was about a half-inch away from yelling back, "...a saggy, fifty four year old @$$...wanna see it?"

Sorry...I'm just grumpy these days.

ROFL...not to laugh at your situation but that just cracked me up. I had a bit of a yelling match in Holland with some drunk over the underwear issue. Don't let it get to you. The world is full of morons but there are also loads of good people that are just curious of the garb and too chicken themselves to take a chance in life...
