    I'll bet 95% of the population would agree with you- and what's more, they would be right at least 83% of the time, 9 times out of 10.

    Why does anybody wear underwear?

    Well, once you get past "because my mother makes me", I expect most people wear underwear to avoid direct contact between their skin and their outer garments. This may be to avoid getting an expensive garment dirty or to avoid having a scratchy garment irritate you- and now and then, to avoid giving people a "free shot". It seems to me that any of these reasons might be applied to kilt wearing, at different times or maybe all at once.

    Like somebody above, I do figure it is a good idea to select your kilt underwear with the assumption that it will be seen. That way, the kilt checkers get something for their troubles. If you are out on the town, then your wee prizewinner may be what you want them to see. If you are working or going to church, you might consider that it is certainly possible to fall down and land the wrong way. And the point about the wind is well taken. More and more often, I find myself going for a pair of tartan boxers in a contrasting sett, probably because I don't have any of the SpongeBob ones and I lost that pair of grippies with the woman's hand printed on the front.

    By the way, I am always naked under my clothes.

    I like my Lucky Charms cereal boxers that way I can answer -

    "Nothing but me lucky charms and they're always after me lucky charms" with the appropriate accent.

    Also have the tee that says "Feeling lucky?"

    Oh, THAT question again

    I admit coming late to this thread, and while reading the interesting and entertaining responses, I was reminded of a time years ago. A neighbor
    boy was growing up in a household where the grand total of male influence
    in his life amounted to his mother, a maiden aunt, and a neutered cat. Trust me, he had questions.

    Now, I will grant that THAT question of "what ya got on ya" is tiresome and intrusive when asked in
    person. In my experience, most times the question isasked, the person asking the question is not looking for information. He is looking for a reaction.

    When I looked over this poll, it was apparent to me the intent was to gather statistical information, anonymously and informally. Some gave information, others gave "reaction". I would guess the kind of response given to the poll
    was somewhat driven by how the responders had been asked THAT queston before. That is not the fault of the OP or of the poll itself.

    I would urge us all (myself among you) to remember that a post can come from someone who simply has no one else to ask, or because the OP feels
    SAFE asking it here among people of similar interest. Please, let's not deride, out of hand, those might be found in either situation.
