    Hated to interupt his phone call!

    Yesterday I was dressed in my new Clergy Tartan, Clergy collared shirt, Prince Charlie and was feeling rather good to head to my wedding. I entered the hotel elevator to find a man and woman, mid 50's maybe, she leaning against the side wall and he against the back on his cell phone, talking loudly in a "still a little happy from the bar the night before" slur...

    As I entered, he gives me the once over and says loudly: This is a great town, some guy in a dress just came on the elevator". His wife quickly dropped her head.

    I smiled and said "Excuse me my good man, this would be a kilt".

    Please let me preface, I am peaceful man and I teach patience to all... However...But...Alas....

    As soon as he paused from his conversation I continued "and furthermore, I'm not sure where you're from BUT wherever you may travel, anywhere in the world you may go, never, ever, piss of a Scotsman".

    I turned back to his wife who simply winked, gave me small smile and under her breathe lipped the words "Thank you".

    I could tell he found a new sense of understanding and having a 270 pound kilted clergyman get in his face was completley unexpected......

    I think back and wonder if I could of handled this better, could I have turned the other cheek, should I have just kept my mouth shut......Naw......

    The best part of this story was after they exited the elevator on their floor, a woman and her daughter walked in and she said: "Now there's a sharp dressed man". This was within earshot of the idiot.....it was if it was all planned.

    Just wanted to share...........

    Have a great weekend......

    Sounds like he gets beer muscles, and isnt used to being pulled up short. Good job!

    It is indeed a shame that the negative comments come from those who tend to not know their limits. Yes putting someone back into the proper boundaries, does take some propriety.

    Great come back on your part, but I think the comment from the woman was probably a more biting slap in his face.

    Reminds me of getting off the elevator recently. I am kilted, my wife was in pants, this other couple was getting on. She was in pants. The guy says something about my being dresses like a woman. Before the doors closed I got to say "All the woman I see are in pants. Looks to me, bub, you're the one dressed like a woman." I know it was a borrowed line, but I've been waiting to use it.

    I wonder if maybe his face is more useless than priceless? So, now, when she put her lipstick on.... Could it be a vision of a man, natural, masculine, kilted. She looks over her shoulder from the vanity. He's not there. .... Daydreaming again. Smudged lips.
    Go, have fun, don't work at, make it fun! Kilt them, for they know not, what they wear. Where am I now?
