The power of the kilt....

[Smitty]

Well, as long as we're sharing...

I wore the tank out last week, rather informal- black oxfords, blue hose, plain black sporran and a dark red sweater.
While running errands, I had to stop by a hospital to pick up some paperwork. Got quite a few looks, and a handful of comments- all positive.
As I was heading out, a very attractive young redheaded lass saw me, and said "Oh my God! Is that a kilt? That's awesome!" I smiled and said "thanks", and continued on.
A moment later, she came back and said "I just want to ask, um, if you don't mind, why are you wearing a kilt?" Now, I have any number of snarky comebacks ready, but I was unprepared for a polite question from an attractive gal (it should be noted that not only am I in New Jersey, where our major export is rudeness, but I'm 41 years old, 5'4" tall, and stocky. Women do NOT talk to me! ;) Mrs Smitty is OK with this)
I replied, "Um, well...because I can". She responded "Wow, that's so cool! I love you!", and went on her way.

Only took a few seconds, but we made each other's day!

These types of encounters are priceless.
