A Gift, a smile and a question unexpected.

Now for the 'question unexpected'.... As many of my stories start, so does this one.... During my morning routine of heading to the corner convenience store to feed the caffeine beast, I was approached by a rather elderly chap who was dressed out to the nines. Dark suit, dark sunglasses, white shirt and power tie. As he approached he got a big grin on his face and said "do you mind if I ask you a question?" Uh-oh I thought, what is this one going to be about, but stated "sure thing". To which he responded "would you mind telling me where you got those hose, I have been looking for something similar for one of my kilts." Needless to say, It was not quite what I was expecting. I did respond that these were brand new and not really a pair of hose that he might expect, but simply a knitted cuff worn over normal hose. He rather liked the idea (So Matt, if you hear from a man named Greg asking about these, it is my fault )

All in all, a rather nice way to break in these new items....

Wow, this just goes to show you that when you hear "Mind if I ask you a question" its not always a bad thing. What a great story. Thanks for sharing.

And by the way, your attire looks wonderful. You weat it well!!
