Mauled!

[Benning Boy]

I'm attending a 50th year reunion of my Army Officer Cadidate School class. I feel as if ive been mauled by a bunch of old ladies. Now I know what it was like for the Beatles.

As I walked through tonight's initial get together it seems every woman I passed told me how much she liked my kilt. Indeed some even shouted their liking for kilts from across the room. Of couse, every one of them, and a few of my buddies too, wanted to know what there might be beneath the kilt. One gal even took the selvedge in hand and lifted it slightly. A hand of mine maneuvered into a blocking position while the other took up over watch. Take my advice brother kilters, avoid old ladies when they've got their party on. ( I think I can call them old as I was the youngest man in my class, and all my classmates and their wives are older.)

I'll have some pics of my drop dead gorgeous new kilt by Barb T. to post when I can get the camera fired up. When you see them a feeling of envy will be so great you will not only want to eat your own heart out, but also the one of the next closest person to you.

Always a fun time, fighting off the curious. I was just off watching Premier League Rugby (Bath v. Leiscester.) Getting mauled takes a whole new meaning!

Stand Your Ground, Lad!

To paraphrase Oscar Wilde: 'The only thing worse than getting mauled, is NOT getting mauled!'

But isn't it funny how it's all 'OK' when the ladies are on the prowl?

Personally, I would just ask to be notified if anyone sees something they haven't seen before...

In today's world I would challenge you to turn this phrase around to "But isn't it funny how it's all 'OK' when the men are on the prowl" and have it be acceptable.

If a man were to act like this towards a lady we would run the very real risk of ending up in jail, convicted of sexual abuse or, at the least, being shown the door and told not to ever return.

So no, I don't think it's funny.

Its interesting how statements are understood. I took the "its funny" sentence as sarcasm...indicating that poster didn't think it was funny either.

Yes, indeed!
Not 'funny' as in 'laffed my **** off', but 'funny' as in 'odd or curious'.
'Funny' as in 'why the double standard?'

A couple of Fridays ago when I was driving my Seniors to their Day Programme, one lady that I used to take who goes with another driver now, saw me in my Kilt and immediately went for the Apron and decided to see if I was wearing anything underneath. I as quick as I could, went on the defensive to keep the Secret..

I know this is the exception to the rule, most ladies give the approving nod or smile and continue on. Some will actually comment that they like a fellow in a Kilt. As for one lady that asked me what I had under my kilt, I replied "I have under my Kilt, what every other fellow has under his kilt".. To which a fellow in the room laughed and said they liked my reply...

The song that leapt to my mind, paraphrased:

"I guess they'll still need you, perhaps even feed you, waaaaay past 64."

So far, I have yet to be 'accosted', but there have been inquiries...

My new signature line has been my standard answer, but I think I like yours just as much!
