For all of us who are energized by the wearing of our kilts

Will a kilt capacitor facilitate time travel?

No no no, that's a toga capacitor. Um... don't ask...

Actually, I find that when wearing a kilt pin I find myself slipping two nano-seconds into the future, then back one. The effect only happens occasionally, and happens too fast for me to realize it, but I just know it's happening.

What about those of us who were inducted into The Kilted Clan?

Are we accused of wearing our kilts with the wrong polarity?

If so, I guess I'm guilty as charged!!

What is my punishment? Am I to be grounded?

Alright, that's enough...

No, it isn't enough!

If your kilt is the wrong polarity, you have it on backwards. If you're not feeling grounded, you should be in a hunting version of your tartan. And no, wearing a hat made from a lamp shade that is flattened on one side doesn't count as a kilt... unless it's a white tie event...

All my static is dissapated through the aluminum foil lining in my hats and shoes. It also helps keep the satelites from reading my thoughts. I wonder, should I be lining my kilts?

Oh' yes, everyone in the know knows that the next MOST important thing (right after a proper aluminum or tin foil hat) is a properly grounded kilt!

The satelites are reading my thoughts too?

I always wore my foil lined Balmoral to protect against aliens...

Be sure to wrap your ghillie laces in aluminum foil too, otherwise they will act as antennas and transmit thoughts. Or, you can just wear aluminum foil spats if they completely cover the laces.

You can use a small alligator clip, with attached wire, to ground your sgian dubh blade to the foil.
