The attention can get wearing
My Lady and I were hurrying down the mall aisle, and a cart vendor vendor asked me where my pipes were. We were trying to get somewhere for an appointment so I just said I don't play, and kept walking. The fellow (other descriptives would get this post removed) actually stood in my way, and said "Where are you from then, Scotland or Ireland?" I frowned, said, "New Jersey!, and we don't like being stopped when we are on a roll there!" Just started walking again, and he jumped. Of course I'm 22 stone if I'm a pebble, and 6'1". The look of confused fright on his face was priceless. Most of the time, I don't mind POLITE questions. But he wasn't polite or respectful.
