I wonder if this will apply to kilts?

Arundel...

I was living with a woman once and she took to slapping me around once and DARING me to reciprocate... When the cops showed up, she admitted to assaulting me and that I had not struck her.. The cops STILL treated me like a criminal and made me leave the premises.

Oh, and in my neighborhood, there is a 7 Eleven right arond the corner from the cop shop.

10 to 1 they had fingers still wet and warm from the coffee and cookie crumbs on the button row! Were any of them in a kilt?

LOL.. No.. This happened about 10 years ago. Still makes me angry, though.

a friend of mine on our ireland trip wore his kilt around...got kilt checked a few times...

one girl asked him very politely if she could ascertain for herself whether or not he was a "true scot" as she said...and afterwards she hugged him...

it was a very interesting evening...

Now, if a girl asked politely, I'd be likely to oblige, depending on the circumstances--for instance, I wouldn't want to offend any by-standers. If you think about it, the manner in which one "exposes" oneself can be quite innocent; afterall, we are not (or shouldn't be) a great lot of tittering imbeciles. The circumstances, and one's disposition, determine the maturity of such an action, which can be idle curiosity, or goodnatured humor rather than crass lewdness. Wouldn't you agree?

Since I've told the story twice on the board, I won't tell it again, but I'll refer to it....

.....the woman at the wedding party of my good mate Phil MacFarlane who followed me around with a portable camera, trying to take pictures up my kilt.

It'd be great to see her in the squad car for it.

I'm also working on this line for the persistent ones: "If you keep that up, how do you feel about showing your friends the photos from your own colonoscopy tomorrow?"

.

I don't get it.....if she was at a wedding then she was probably wearing a dress.....

Was she going to let you see a picture up her dress at least?

Isn't there a bit of wisdom that says "people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones?" If people can take pictures up her garment maybe she shouldn't be trying to take pictures up other people's garments. It seems so ridiculous.

It simply amazes me that women, who have demanded equal rights with men and to shed the moniker of "the weaker sex" insist on holding to natural concepts of decency for themselves thus maintaining a "seperate place" in society from the men they wish to be equal with. I am by no means a shovinist, but it seems to me that the feminist movement has a few biases it needs to shed if it is truly to attain its goal (which I think is nebulous at best to most of its adherents).

it is a common problem of any group that seeks "equality" to another group. They want all the rights and priviledges they supposedly don't have, but they are very quick to remind that they are "oppressed" or something like that, and demand special treatment. Very common problem.
