    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.
