While I'm not one to generally compare the kilt to women's skirts - as I am an expert in neither - they are very much one in the same. Women (and the kilted) have been wearing skirts/kilts for centuries without any need for skirt/kilt weights. They may help weigh down the fabric but is (I believe) unnecessary.

OK, MrBill. Now you've done it. Now you'll have to explain to the younger folk what a slide rule it. Only those of us who went to college before the advent of calculators and computers will know what it is.

Unless someone saw Apollo 13 where all the engineers went to work with their slip sticks. Kind of made me get all misty, know whadda mean?
