The Power of the Kilt
In yet another example of the kilt's mysterious power...
I was meeting friends at the theater tonight; the person who arranged for the tickets was unsure how to spell my name, so she just described me to the box office staff.
I had an unusually hard time finding a parking spot (the kilt is not all-powerful) and by the time I found a space several blocks away, walked briskly to the theater, and rushed in the door it was just moments before the curtain. The woman at the ticket counter looked up and said, "Oh, you're wearing a kilt! Here's a ticket! Go right in!"
The other patrons in the lobby were somewhat confused; perhaps they will wear kilts next time in hopes of getting a ticket out of the deal...

Wait a minute,...isn't that how it's was supposed to work?

That's funny, Moosedog.
I have seen a few threads on getting free food or drinks because of "The Kilt Power."
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

I was just reminded of back in my college days how everyone was talking about "power ties," like if you could win arguements, get jobs, get out of speeding tickets with the right "Power Tie!!"
We need power kilts.

My living history group is planning to got see The Dutchess in full garb next weekend. A whole bunch of Renaissance Scots invading a movie theater... That ought to be a gas! We'll have to see just how powerful kilts are in large numbers.
