What do you do with your legs?

[NewKilt]

I was walking from the parking lot to the medical building for my quarterly medical follow-up when a women who had exited the building asked me if that was a kilt I was wearing. I replied that it was - I was wearing a USAK Grey Granite Casual. She then asked "What do you do with your legs?" I'm a bit slow on the draw sometimes due to the medications I take, and I thought to myself. "Does she think my legs function differently because I'm wearing a kilt?" So I told her that I didn't understand her question. She said, "I mean how do you keep your legs together?" I'm wondering if she thinks that due to wearing a kilt, either of my legs can suddenly develop a mind of it's own, depart my body, and go galloping off into the sunset.

Well, as it turns out, she was wondering how I am able to hold my legs together when sitting in a kilt. Told her that unlike a women's skirt, I don't have to hold my legs together. I'm able to simply give the front of the kilt a tuck and it stays down. She said, "Why can't we have that?" Meaning why can't women's skirts have the same functionality.

Anyhow, her initial questions certainly went over my head. It's the first time I've had anyone ask me how I sit in a kilt.

Women don't have the sporran in front. I make no effort to keep my knees together. But, notice how the officers sit in the lounge when taking tea in "Tunes of Glory".

I sit like a guy and let my sporran save the day (or at least my dignity).



p.s. I always sweep my pleats first.
