Need to know how polite you are to people who are....curious

[Friday]

If asked the question, the response depends on the circumstance. It is a serious question under the right conditions, I will answer that I have the same choices that he/she does when they get dressed. However, which one I choose is between me and my wife. If it does not seem to be a sincere question then I normally look down and answer shoes and socks.

The hard one occurred on one of my first outing wearing a kilt. A group of kilties were at a Irish Bar in town. There were a group of women who had been drinking and as I walked by one reach over and tried to flip my kilt up. She did not succeed and I kept walking. Now that I am more self assured I am not sure how I would react.

Not sure how I would have handled that one for sure. Now if the wife were with me, I can guarantee what would have happened...lol. In my younger days who knows how I would have responded. I was at a football game last year and as my daughter and I were walking back to our vehicles, a couple of young ladies passed us..one of which promptly as they passed swatted me on my backside and just kept on walking. My reaction was one of stunned silence and dropped jaw. My daughter's reaction was one of laughter.

I get a LOT of comments - maybe because we get tourists from all over the world - but locals ask questions too. I'm for assessing the intent and responding accordingly. Its okay to have fun with it.

One of the keys is staying current on this board and stealing some of the best lines and trying them out yourself.

Main thing is not to take any guff from anyone...they initiated.

I believe I've met more new friends wearing a kilt than I'd have met the rest of my life wearing jeans.

Some very wonderful things have evolved from flirty questions. Don't zing sarcasm back at a flirty lady...

"Aren't you cold?" "Nope, I have a heater under there."

"What's under your kilt?" "A magnificent penis."

"What tartan is that?" Tell them in detail and why you're wearing it today.

"Why are you wearing a kilt? Is there a highland games in town?" "Not that I know of - just comfort and freedom."

"Are you from Scotland?" "No, but my ancestors are."
