    I remember an article somewhere that said that most modern Scotsmen don't ever think of a kilt until they get "married or buried". This is of course a travesty, and probably not ALL that true, eh?

    Great story anyway, MAC. I got a chcukle out the "englishman" and trousers!

    Do you get buried in your kilt, honoring your heritage with your final wishes....

    Or do you leave your kilt to be inherited by future generations of your family?

    Aye,
    Matt
    This problem is easily solvable -- own at least one more kilt than you have male heirs!

    Great story, I shall be buried in a kilt also, and hope that I can fool the Lord into not noticing that I am a "lesser creation"

    Anyway, according to the Bi*le those who are resurrected to meet the Lord will be wearing "white robes of righteousness", but at least they are unbifurcated!!

    Hmmmm, perhaps I'll request to be buried with a sewing machine and a "How to make kilts" book - that way I can make that "white robe of righteousness" into a beautiful "white kilt of righteousness."

    Hope the material is kilt friendly.....
