    Reminds me of a joke.

    A young man had just graduated from a university with an MBA degree and went out into the big world to find his first job using his Business degree.

    For the job search, he bought an expensive suit, and a pair of $300.00 Guicci shoes.

    After he got a job, he continued to wear the Guicci shoes to work every day. After about three weeks, the shoes started to fall apart. So the young man went back to the Guicci store.

    There he saw the salesman who sold him the shoes and started complaining about the lack of durability.

    Salesman: "And you wore these shoes every day?"
    Young man: "Yes! And in three weeks they wore out!"
    Salesman: "Sir! These are $300.00 Guicci's! You don't wear them every day!"

    I guess I know what you mean, but I wear my $150.00 PK daily.

    What I meant was that I don't understand why some kilt makers say that they cannot pleat a 4-yard kilt to the stripe, when I always pleat my 4-yard kilts to the stripe with no problem.

    I'm hoping to grab some MacLachlan or MacEwen tartan soon, enough for a 4-yarder pleated to the stripe. At least I think I'll be able to do it... we'll see how she turns out.
