Are you a true Scotsman?

And just what constitutes a "true Scotsman"? By the sounds of it you didn't buy her a drink wouldn't that make you one ? Tit for tat was she a true Scotswomen .

LOL

Silly lassies. There are some that just don't think about what they are saying. I had a run in with my overly patriotic cousin last week.

"Are you Scotch?"
No but I'll have one on the rocks if you are buying.

"Are you 'seltic'?"
<sigh> No. I don't even like to watch basketball much less play it! Am I Celtic? I am a proudly a descendant of some Celtic peoples, but I don't speak Celtic (p or q) and am far too much an advocate of Individual Liberty to submit to the will of the Tribe as Celtic Culture usually demanded so I can't quite call myself a Celt in the traditional sense.

"Are you Scottish?"
No, I'm American. My dad's family came to Northern Maine in the mid 1800s from the St. John Valley of Quebec and to Quebec from Rocuefort, France in 1671. My mom's family came to Maine (then Massachusetts) supposedly from Glencoe region of Scotland in the early 1700s.

"Are you a TRUE Scotsman?"
Nope still a proud American. You mean 'Do I wear underwear?' That is an impertinent question, but yes, I do. Fair warning: if you lift my kilt or grab my package without my asking you to and your likely to at the very least get backhanded.

My most creative "kilt check" came on the flight over to Maui. A very attractive young flight attendant with a name tag that read Lelani stopped to help a child in the aisle seat in front of my aisle seat. I'm flying kilted.

Lelani squated down to child level to talk to the child. But, in fact she was now down at my waist level and looking up my kilt. She got this bright look in her eyes then swiveled a bit to allow me to see that she was a true Scotswoman.

I nearly swooned. She was all smile, or more "gotcha" smirk, but all tease because she was half my daughter's age and my lady was next to me in the window seat. No come on, just sort of a "me too" salute.

As blantant as her behavior was I'm sure it was rooted in the desire to kilt check me. No clue how many other flight attendents were in on her inspection tour but later in the flight when I walked back to where they were clustered they did a fine job of ignoring me and the kilt. Suppose she/they were just protecting their jobs.

Now, to me that's at least a "fair" way to kilt check...tit for tat..you show me...I'll show you...except there were no words spoken.

Life is good.

No...this was not my imagination, an accident, dream, or olde man's fantasy...really did happen. Her eyes and her smile/smirk were the confirmation. The high altitude sunlight made for clear viewing.

Hope I've been appropriate with the recount of it all.

Ron, you should be deeply offended. I for one would have just walked off of that flight! Actually I couldn't, the doors won't open in flight, OK who's kidding who? If that happened to me I'd of died from shock!

You can't win 'em all.

But we can try!

Dialect Police help me out?

She said: “Yer never a true Scotsman!”…?

Shouldn’t she have said: “Yur no a Scot!"...?
