At the Marine Corps Birthday Ball this year, late in the evening, the Commanding Officer of 3rd Bn. 25th Marines (in full Mess Dress) and his wife were walking out of the hotel to their car. I was standing outside chatting with a few of the Marines who had stepped out for a smoke.

About 20 paces out, the CO's wife turned and walked back to me and said "I have to ask, are you traditional?"

The Colonel's face turned bright red and I heard him say "I don't believe you just did that".

LOL. I just told her that's between a man and his kilt.
