The "real cold question" season

[ccga3359]

Back in my jeans and t-shirt days - - - no one ever asked if I was cold!

Maybe they feel more compassion for us?

Well, it's a thought............... I'll go back to sleep now.

They wouldn't ask then because they were dressed the same, so they already had the answer. With a kiltie they see naked knees and nothing preventing a cold Nor' easter blowing up add to that, their perception of the 'answer' to THE 'question' in their mind's eye. I would ask the same question two years ago (B.K.) had I seen one.

I usually explain that kilts are to pants as mittens are to gloves. That way, the other person leaves a little bit smarter.

It does get old for me though. I swear people ask this question more often than "the" question.

P.S. for those of you who play, I just lost the game.

Yeah but my response would be "You stick your thumb where?" Are you sure you want to use that I might have brothers out there from a wayward father.

huh, so it is possible to wear a kilt the chilly or cold weather and live. i should do that instead of wussin around cuz i have no socks.

Robert just tell them you have a heater under the kilt and wink... answers BOTH questions

Most folks who know me well have gotten used to me not getting cold easily no matter what I'm wearing. I am now in the second job I've had since turning 19 that hasn't involved long periods outdoors in any weather normally seen here (and some weather not normally seen here--think "ramp rat" at the big UPS Next Day Air facility for nine+ years, among other things).

That said, yes, I have already experienced the "aren't you cold?" bit. Since I figured they were referring to my bare knees, I simply shrugged it off. Easy for them to see me shrug, too, given that I wasn't wearing a coat at the time (~5C). Come to think of it...

And, no, I wasn't cold at all.
