Ya know... I had the most bizarre experience at a Starbucks today that fits this thread rather well. This enormous black guy came over to the table my wife and I were sitting at, felt free to pull up a chair, and say to me "Dude, any man with the (insert male genitalia vulgarity here) to wear a dress in front of me has got to have something interesting going on. Where are your bag pipes?" (I note that the guy was black because he was covered head to waist in African jewelry.) To which I responded "Well, if drinking coffee and converting oxygen into carbon dioxide is interesting, then yes. Where's your corn bread and fried chicken?" I thought I was about to brawl with this guy. He just busted up laughing and said "And a redhead! I hit the jackpot today!" He then shook hands with my wife and I (nearly crushing her hand if his shake with her was as firm as with me) and went on his way. He never did use the work kilt, but in the course of the conversation stated that he recognized it as a Scottish or Irish mans garment. All in all... a strange but good experience.
