I heard what has to be the most amusing thing I have heard directed towards my kilt. I was out at Sherwood Forest Faire near Austin, TX, this past weekend. Upon leaving the Faire to retire to my camp, a woman whose path I crossed called out to me, "You're too young to be wearing a kilt!"

For some reason this woman was resolute that a man had to be 18 to wear a kilt, like it was some kind of right of passage.

I'm over 30 (just shy of double the age she thought me when she made that comment), and I think the list of things I'm "too young" to do has become quite short. Still, it was an amusing opinion she had I suppose it came about from the "requirement" that a kilt be worn regimentally and the fear of a flash should the minor's kilt be uplifted.

So guys, I guess you should all put your young sons' kilts in storage until they come of age ;)
