Ok here's what I figure. You walk into a room with a kilted person. Everyone in there had that question pop up in their inner monologue. Someonoen non kilted realizes this. Figures the one person must expect at least one person to ask. So they do it. That makes it easier for the next person.

At highland games, or when substantial liquor is served, this whole process is faciliated by an apparent lack of required class or with alcohol being a great social lubriant, the kilted do not escape.

You just have to stop in think...it's like deep down they think you'll lift your kilt and there'sll be a soft light, and they'll see the Meaning of Life or something.

Yes? No? ;)
