    Doh!!

    I wore my kilt in to work today and was feeling great until I went into the lunchroom to heat up my soup. As I looked down I realized that I had on one dark blue hose and one black hose.
    Don't get dressed in the morning with the lights on low!
    In a kilt you can really tell you have mis-matched hose!


    Please somebody tell me that I'm not the only one to do this
    It don't mean a thing, if you aint got that swing!!

    Well, there is a cure for that problem. Just make sure that one color has the "popcorn" top and the other doesn't.

    I usually get all my clothes together the night before. I take some care to get the look just the way I want it. I was running a bit late a couple of weeks ago and dressed in a hurry. It wasn't till I got to the meeting that I realised that I had the wrong kilt on. Nothing matched, in fact it all clashed.

    Regards

    I did that with shoes one day. I wore the kilt and traveled about 50 miles north before I realized I had on odd shoes. How I could go that long and not feel the difference is beyond me. I felt stupid the rest of the day and wondered if anyone noticed. With any luck they were preoccupied with the kilt and did not look down any farther.

    I have two pairs of sandals, identical except that one pair is brown leather and the other black.

    One evening I sat down on the bed and realised that for the last 15 hours I'd been wearing one from each pair.

    I still don't know how I managed it. The brown ones are kept with my green/brown clothes and the black ones with the blue/black ones.

    I go to excruciating lengths with my clothing to keep everything brown separated from everything black or gray. Still, it happens from time to time... I think they move on their own!
