Similar stuff happened to me last Sunday at Wal*Mart. We saw a co-worker who asked if I was 'coming back from something ethnic'. Stock answer, "no I just like to wear a kilt." I'm just waiting until word gets around work -- 'Oh my, Mildred, he was wearing a skirt! Said it was a kilt, but he's not Scottish!"

Then another guy stopped me and wanted to know what clan I was.

Finally, the cashier asked the obvious, prefaced with, "I hope you don't mind if I ask ...."

I've been wanting to do this and say and say, "Ay, me clan is frum a wee bit o' Scotland called Slovakia. Jus' go' back frum a wee bit o' haggis huntin'"
