Kilted... In a Chinese eatery.

I agree.

I find that my dreadlocks (and my kilt) work as eejit detectors. They let me know right away what kind of person I am dealing with. I hear comments all of the time. Lice nests. Racial slurs. That I am somehow dirty. And so on and so on. I like having my locks and my kilt acting as a detector for what sort of people are around me. Some of the nicest people I have ever met in my whole life I have met simply because of either the locks or the kilt.

They do a great job at making the undesireables be known, but also encourage the curious to come and strike up a conversation... And only good can come of that.

As I've said before, I was always pretty much used to this kind of treatment from low-lifes so I mostly let any comments slide right off my back and back into the gutter where they came from.

I wore a U.S. Army uniform for many years that started in 1970 when there was much anti-military sentiment. You could easily project this onto the uniform and how some people reacted to it as those very same types react to the kilt. They never had the nerve to wear one but are the first to make the comments and insults.

Dreadbelly, You are so far above the inbred scum around you! Even Taller due to you uncommon common sense. It seems to me sometime that one trait has been bred out of a large portion of the general public. It is the seat of Decency, Courtesy, Bravery, Honesty, and Humility. I do believe the young lady had you pegged! I tip my Tam to you Sir. I think it an Honour to know you!
