OK, I've been asked many questions whilst in a kilt but this was good! Actually two of us were asked, Celtic Cowboy & I were when we had pizza last Friday with a couple of new friends.

Aaron (Celtic Cowboy) and I have been there before kilted and we got the usual "nice to see you both in your kilts" greetings from our server. After we finished and had just stood up from the table behind us to leave... I hear... excuse me.. did you both perform somewhere?

As I turned I saw a nice typical FL retired couple at a table and the lady was asking the question. I will also add that the husband became embarrassed and rolled his eyes.. ;)

I said, "I'm sorry, .. perform?
She asked, "did you both perform earlier this evening?"
I replied, "I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean by perform?"

This silly banter went on for a minute or two.

Then her husband rolled his eyes again a said something like, "I think she wants to know if you played bagpipes somewhere this evening."(?)

I said "no, I'm sorry. "

She then said, I bet you're real good at the bagpipes...
Hint I don't play the pipes.

I began to crush her "stereotyping" and said, "I don't play the pipes and neither does my friend here."

She said, "but you're wearing kilts?"

Aaron began to try to explain it and then....

Our friend Colan (pr. like Colon) explained, "wait, wait, wait,.... the kilt is normal clothing for these guys."

She said.... "Oh?" You both look very nice!

Honestly, she was very nice.... she just had not been exposed to regular kilt wearing. Now she has!
