The "real cold question" season

[ccga3359]

I think they ask that question, because they are cold, and can't believe that we aren't....

Go figure.

Exactly. Last winter when out on our few SOKS nights (and only one kilt) I'd be outside the bar grabbing a smoke in kilt and sweater (-20C) and the trousered other smokers ask me the same question and I'm the one not shivering.

Back in my jeans and t-shirt days - - - no one ever asked if I was cold!

Maybe they feel more compassion for us?

Well, it's a thought............... I'll go back to sleep now.

They wouldn't ask then because they were dressed the same, so they already had the answer. With a kiltie they see naked knees and nothing preventing a cold Nor' easter blowing up add to that, their perception of the 'answer' to THE 'question' in their mind's eye. I would ask the same question two years ago (B.K.) had I seen one.

I usually explain that kilts are to pants as mittens are to gloves. That way, the other person leaves a little bit smarter.

It does get old for me though. I swear people ask this question more often than "the" question.

P.S. for those of you who play, I just lost the game.

Yeah but my response would be "You stick your thumb where?" Are you sure you want to use that I might have brothers out there from a wayward father.
