    Practical Kilt

    A friend of mine recently wrote a short article regarding things he believes. It was a good article, but mostly political and not appropriate for this site.

    However, he had a bunch of one-liners about things he believes, and I thought this one was great:

    Call me a romantic, but I think the kilt is the greatest garment ever invented for ventilation, urination or fornication.

    Can't argue with that!

    I don't think any lady who reads that will call him a "romantic," but he does have a point. I would suggest that's more practical than romantic.

    As would be a Scottish garment... but the romantic ain't too far behind!

    I found his blog. True, a little political but he makes a few good points. I agree that it isn't romantic but does lean to the practical side. Thanks for the quote!

    A habit's not a Kilt, it doesn't have pleats at the back.
