Kilt Do's and Don'ts

[Panache]

I look at the fellow in the soccerball kilt and a news flash springs to mind...

Hamburg Germany

Mr. Dinsdale H. Gumby, retired certified public accountant was kicked to death in a stadium parking lot this afternoon. Mr. Gumby had just attended a World Cup Football match when a drunken group of Scottish football fans came apon him and started kicking him. At this time it is unclear if the motive was anger at the game results, anger at the strange soccerball kilt worn by Mr. Gumby, or if they were too drunk to tell that there was an elderly gentleman attached to the soccerball they were playing with. Several bottles of Single malt and a sheep were found at the crime scene. The six young Scots in question are currently assisting the Police with their inquiries.

I agree about using a safety pin, but isn't that the function of a kilt pin?

That's a common misconception. Whatever function the kilt pin may have had at one time (other here can talk about that better than me), now it is used only for decoration and a bit of weight. In fact, if you do in the aprons together, the kilt really won't hang right and you risk getting it caught on something and ripping both aprons.

Thanks for the info.

Actually, the "safety pin" is a copy of the kilt pin used by the Highland Regiments of the British Army.
