What to say?

[Tartanraven]

I was at a pot luck tonight when I was approached by an guy who was active duty (Air Force) who asked me "is that a Kilt?" "Yes, it is, the tartan is my family tartan)" "I've never seen a kilt before, are they comfortable?" "Well yes they are, very comfortable, I'm surprised you have never seen a kilt, they are fairly popular with the militaries of the world", "Really? I guess I've never been stationed where they would be part of the uniform" At this point his wife grabbed him and took him away. I've been in company of lots of military guys, and I have never got this one before, never seen a kilt before at all?

Is this common? I mean never? Or perhaps the guy leads a really sheltered life?

I think he was having you on.
