M*A*S*H's Klinger - My Biggest Fear
It hasn't happened to me yet in a year and a half of kilting, but my biggest fear is that some rube will call me "Klinger" after the M*A*S*H corporal character who enjoyed cross dressing to seek a discharge.
Has it happened to anyone? Whatdya do? I figure its inevitable but don't have a ready comeback yet...
The worst things I ever experienced never actually happened...and this is one of them.

This guy?
Would, "Nope, that was Jamie Farr!" work for you?

No it really hasn't happened to me, but then again I am not from Toledo. I am sure it is possible though, but highly unlikely, as those who would draw your attention, as far as being a cross dresser, are much to young to remember M*A*S*H.

Aye, there will at some point be an unwashed saxon who makes a rude, ignorant comment about the kilt....but in my experience, they are very few and far between. Far more frequently I get either a positive response, or complete indifference, this in 20 years of kilting.

it'll be a sad day one there are people too young to remember MASH. I'm 19, and Ive seen it.

My stepson is your age, and as we bought the series box sets, he would sit down to marathon runs of the show and have the box done in a couple of days!

Can I suggest on the basis of wearing the kilt since childhood-and I'm now a bit too near seventy-that the motto should be 'relax'.
Of course there are such comments-in virtually all cases a bit of fun to laugh along with-laugh even louder if a new one-or a clever one.
Over the years I've had umpteen comments of all sorts-a ready laugh will turn the comment into a fun moment and very often a friendly chat.
The point to remember is that the person comenting is not trying to be nasty-rather they think they are being funny, and often they are.
A part of the reason for being kilted is that it is more fun-have fun.
