"I really like your shoes" ???

Perhaps is is suggesting the thought that Shoe size is directly related to the size of ones Johnson?

Yes what size DO you wear? That might clarify the issue.

Perhaps the young lady was familar with that and was making a joke about the joke.... BTW is that her in the photo and did you get her name or phone or other contact info?

That's my wife in the photo! Or at least the back of her head and her arm...

I'm afraid it will only confuse the issue. I'm rather short, with small feet by American standards (although I do seem to be taller than the average Hispanic, at least judging by the height of workers on my jobsites). I wear a size 7 US shoe. I would have a hard time believing she was complimenting the size of my feet.

People say all sorts of silly things to a man in a kilt. One gets used to it. I do think that they are often at a loss for words, but feel they have to say something. It can be a compliment, a silly question or an outright rude remark. Just take it in your stride.
Regards,
Mike

You're a lucky guy then. And she no doubt is a lucky woman.

I would not wear the kilt ever, if I had to!

I suspect that Canada lies on the less than halfway mark where these sorts of questions are concerned. Here it generally has to be a drunken older woman who has in fact walked out of her own shoes and is in danger of falling over.

Oh dear! I just looked it up there. Is THAT what she meant? Is that a common term?

I guess I'm out of touch with the lingo these days. It does explain, though, why she said it to me as I got back to the table and my wife had just headed to the ladies' room. I imagine she wouldn't have said it in front of my wife.

It also explains why my wife's friend, who heard the comment, giggled madly.

Here in Scotland we get asked mostly sensible questions like what is your tartan? and I have often been asked to pose for photos mostly by Japanese ladies I have very seldom been asked what I wear under

You're going home this afternoon to compliment your wife on her shoes aren't you.
