    I had a lady honk at me and another say you look nice. A thank-you is all I said.
    Some ask where is the bag pipe. At times I would say I play the drums. Which I really did when I played in the band. Not anymore. But, it is nice to see people take a interest in the outfits.

    I'm just waiting for the where are your pipes question. Since the only instrument I ever played was in my high school marching band,I plan to answer, I play Tuba. I bet that one would really leave them wondering.

    Ron, I would agree with your most frequent comment, that's what I get from the lasses.
    Recently while getting a haircut the manageress came over and said she liked my "dress", she meant well and I was not offended.

    Your reply is also the one I agree is best.

    Sometimes I get compliments about my legs...which amazes me, 1.because they are nothing special, 2. because in the years I wore shorts, I never once heard such a comment, even tho' shorts show far more of the leg than a kilt does.

    Ah, the power and mystery of the kilt!

    I work with a Hispanic lady and when she saw me in my kilt the other day she said (imagine a Charro-like accent here), "Senor Marco! Ju got nice leeeegs!" Caught me off guard and all I could do was grin.

    I get "You have the legs for it." and every now and then a whistle which I enjoy.

    Or if the occasion warrants and the question is sarcastic, you can indicate the pipes are under the kilt or if the question is not sarcastic but coming from an obviously interested comely lass, you could indicate the same thing with a wink.

    The bset I've gotten so far is when I'm wearing my REAL MEN WEAR KILTS shirt along with a kilt. Typical comments are:

    "You sure are honey"
    "You must be to be wearing that here"
    and my favorite
    "...and you must have a big set under there"

    All from random women in random places.
