On the way home from the Austin Celtic Festival on Saturday, we stopped at an IHOP to eat supper while we were passing through San Antonio. I was wearing what you see below:




You can't see them very well, but I was wearing plain old brown casual-dress shoes that I found at Academy. Nothing special.

Kilts are a pretty rare sight in San Antonio, and I could tell that our waitress, a young Hispanic girl, was really ogling me when I got up to visit the men's room. When I came back, she approached the table in a rather shy manner, and in her best demure voice, she said, "I really like your shoes."

I thanked her politely, she visibly blushed, and moved on. My wife's friend, who was with us, went into a giggling fit. I'm assuming that the young lady meant to compliment something about my kilted outfit, but the fact that she mentioned my shoes was rather odd.

Ever had awkwardly bizarre comments like that?
