Sometimes, all you can do is act like nothing happened and keep on walking.

Same thing happened to me in Chicago a few years back bar hopping with some of my Navy buddies.......yeah...at least I got compliments about wearing it "traditional" from the ladies I was with..and the "I'm blind...Oh NO" buy the Gents. Like many of you have said....grin and bear it!

Would have been good infomation to have before I wore my Newsome 5-yd box pleat kilt hiking up on a local mountain. "Windy Point Lookout" is not just a name, it is a very accurate description too! Let's just say that the other folks up there may have (OK...probably did) get some kind of show of what's under the kilt that day...
