    I was in Mexico a couple of years ago staying in an all exclusive resort for twa wks. I was on ma way tae a speciality resturaunt in the resort wearing ma kilt, a was refused entry. Why? because there is a dress code nae shorts allowed, go pit lang troosers on. After ten mins explaining this my national dress, a walked awa made a complaint, as i was insulted. Cut a lang story short, a wis given an apology fae management, free passes tae speciality resturaunts (never went, matter of principle) and the dress code as far as kilts are concerned, ALLOW IN!!!

    Regrets

    Well, I dutifully wore p*nts today. I did drill that "professional dress" mandate squarely in the end zone by wearing my Modern Macbeth necktie.

    Turns out I should have worn the kilt. Both the vendor trainer and our corporate trainer said it would be fine. Came up when one o' the lads asked me why I was wearing p*nts.

    The instructor kept coming back to the topic for comic relief, should have just worn it. I am sure the District Manager appreciates my gesture though. Tomorrow - Free again!

    If I recall this scenario has played out before (or I just had a premonition). In future cases sch as these, when a brother kiltie is told to wear grape smugglers he should keep kilt-kit in the car. At the first sounds of "should've worn the kilt" in a flash our kilted hero can save the day.

    Could not agree more! Let this be the law of our people hence. From this rule I will not soon stray
