Kilted Prison Reform

[Panache]

And I'm guessing its really hard to see my tongue when its firmly planted in my cheek...

Ron,

I read your post and didn't see anything there that made me think that you were joking or being silly. All I could think about was how very easy if would be for prisoners to carry illegal / dangerous items about their person wearing some sort of kilt.

FYI: The use of the emoticons or "smilies" are an aid to help convey a humorous intent.

...gonna don my helmet and lay low in the foxhole until the firing dies down.

One has to take responsibility for one's words. If you truly started this thread intending humor, you have failed. Realizing this, Instead of lying low because you have stirred people up, the proper response is to apologize.

"Gee I didn't mean to stir people up" or "I don't see why people are stirred up" do not help.

"Gee I'm sorry all, I was just joking. Please don't take what I wrote seriously" does.

I believe the hardest things in this world to say for most people are "I was wrong" and "I'm sorry"

Sadly these two phrases are the ones that are of the most use when dealing with other people.

Respectfully

Jamie
