So, you wear a pith helmet? In broad daylight? Right out there in front of God and everyone?

I'm inspired.

It's best to be prepared. Because when you gotta pith, you want to be ready

Stopped in to a pharmacy on my way home from a ceremony dressed like this:



A woman walks up to me and asks "Do you work here?"

I understand her confusion.
That tartan is eerily similar to Walgreens' tartan.
(Though CVS has a prominent white stripe.....)

I've gotten to the point that when I'm not wearing a kilt, a lot of people ask me: "What's wrong? Where's the kilt?"

It's also fun when people tell me that I look funny wearing pants. I'm sure a bunch of you guys get that one a lot, too.

I've piped at a number of golf tournaments throughout my regions. Virtually every time, a numpty approaches me to ask, "Why on earth would you be playing bagpipes at a golf tournament?"

Here's your sign....

I think most folks in out part of the country think golf started at Fairfield Bay. Speaking of which why do they call it a "Bay" when it's landlocked in Arkansas???

My favorite question to be asked, while kilted, is: "Are you Irish?"


...I feel a little more sad, every time I hear that one.

Not too strange I was at the Hospital yesterday in my Black Watch HW SWK and a man walks up to me and asked if I was Welsh? I replied Edwards. He shakes my hand and thanks me for wearing a Cilt. He said he had just last year come over from Wales and I told him it was a Black Watch and he said he thought it was but I looked like some one he knew in Wales.
Must have brothers I don't know about

Arg... that's a debacle that doesn't happen every day (thank goodness)! Sounds like another victim of one of these scams: http://blog.albanach.org/2005/04/welsh-tartans.html

Many people in the US associate kilts with the St. Patrick's Day parade which is where most of the them see actual kilts being worn other than in the movies.

At a fair on the Italian Riviera just 2 days ago, someone asked me why I was wearing a kilt in such a place. I answered it was probably to match with the mist in the background !

To be fair, there are any number of things you could've smashed with a hammer.

And I have...
