Best overheard comments while kilted

I think this one counts... a couple of weeks ago I'm standing in the parking lot of a bank - talking to a good friend of mine. A car full of teenage boys heads towards us coming down the road and I see them all pointing and nudging each other. As they come along broadside one guy rolls down the window and I think "ok here we go..." so, he hangs halfway out - points at me and shouts "that's awesome - your kilt ROCKS!" Wonders never cease I guess.

Yesterday I was walking home from the train station in the (for me) early morning and passed a group of maybe 8-10 young men. I have had negative experinces with this demographic (espcially in large groups) but since it was early and I was tired I just lengthened my stride. I hear "Yoooooooooo" and "
What the...." But then I hear that which made my day "My Man in the GANGSTA kilt" (which is a compliment I have been led to belive) I looked over, nodded thank you, and was on my way. It was a nice little start to the day.

Yesterday out grocery shopping, a gentleman was with his little boy, he bent down to tell the lad "See that guy? he's from Scotland." Thought it was funny since I am from Michigan.

my favorite remark would be one that i got from a police officer right oafter a golf tournament last week. i had just finished the eighteenth hole when a ploice officer walked out of the club house and met me on the deck he took me aside and i thought that i was in trouble or somethin but instead he said that he liked the kilt and hoped that i continued to wear i later found out that he was there to appologize to me for his fellow officer who stopped me a few months ago and gave me a verbal warining of indecent exposure. i thought that this was pretty funny

So, what had happened with that? I think my temper may have gained the best of me if I had been in the same situation.

When I finished work in the kitchen I had a wee dram at the bar.

A regular (rather loud) guest came to me and started to laugh and make fun of me. I gave him the "you are dirt" look and ignored him.

A few minutes later he came back and told me he wanted to "show" me to his Taiwanese business associatives.
I went straight to their table and gave them a polite nod...the 2 Taiwanese guys stood up and bowed to me..."you wear traditional clothing, we respect that".
I turned to the regular guest and grinned...he turned beet red.

Sweet revenge...

I didn't actually hear this exchange, my brother-in-law did. We were in a crowded Hooters while on vacation last year...

guy 1: Hey that guy's wearing a skirt!

guy 2: (looks at me) Yes, but it's a tasteful skirt.

OK, I almost choked on my soda when I read this, I was laughing so hard.

My favorite? I'm walking across campus with my Black Watch on, sporran, hose, the works, and this Chinese woman comes running up to me. She grabs me by the arm, and exclaims...

oh, you must be Jewish!

Still haven't figured that one out, yet.
