Funny question!

Interesting story/stories. I've been asked, what's going on, is it a special occasion? Or something similar.

One June day in Gatlinburg TN, (highland games are held there in mid-May), I was asked, why are you wearing a kilt today? My response, "it's Sunday". That's all I said, she accepted that as an answer.

its either do you play the bagpipes or is there a parade?.. whats the special occassion?...

They do not comprehend that sometimes.. I just want to wear the kilt..

And don't forget the also popular, Did you just come from or are going to some Highland games.

Several years ago, I had a very tall student in some of my classes and he was 6'10". We made him a shirt that read: "No. Do you play miniature golf?"

Being a tall girl, I can relate! People always assumed I could play basketball, but the reality is that I'm a horrible basketball player.

At the grocery store the other night my boss (who is incidentally also my husband) and I were buying Ice Cream after a particularly grueling rehearsal. Its his company, and his rules, and the rule is: The guys in the kilts are the tech crew, so naturally we were kilted. Someone asked us what the event was and we answered "Rehearsal for a concert with Carol Channing." It took them a few minutes to process, and then talked to us about kilts and the upcoming concert. The way the woman was watching us, I think the guy is going to find a kilt under the Christmas tree (if she can wait that long to put it on him)

Cheers

I had a woman at the farmers market last Saturday ask, "Do you play today?" It was painfully early in the morning and all I could muster for a reply was a confused, "Play.....?"

Hours later, I realized that she probably meant rugby since I've seen several kilted rugby players here in town.
