Best overheard comments while kilted

[MacWage]

Most often, it's the wife telling the husband:

"Now, WHY DON"T YOU WEAR YOUR KILT!!!!"


and:

Nice Legs!!! Howlered across parking lots.
I'm never quite sure how to respond to this other than:
1-> THANKS
2-> A big grin
3-> if a nice looking female-> I like yours more.

My wife and I are visiting family in San Diego and went down to Ocean Beach for lunch yesterday. Many of the restaraunts have open fronts and bar-like tables looking out. At one such place, my wife stopped and asked a couple how the food was. They recommended a hamburger joint across the street. We walked around a bit and did end up at the burger joint. As they were leaving (full dress leathers and motorcycle gear), they noticed us and waved. They came over and chatted a bit with us - they were from New Zealand, moto-touring for a few weeks. The left, as did we. As we were crossing the street, I heard him exclaim to his partner from inside his helmet - "Hey, he's wearing a kilt!"

My wife and I had a good chuckle about it.

... in San Diego and went down to Ocean Beach for lunch yesterday.

If you get back there, stop in Gary Gilmore Goldsmith on the third block up from the beack on Newport (where you had lunch). That's no sales pitch - my brother's a great guy, just plain good company. He's been there in OB since 1972, it's true a family run shop. Just stop in say hi and tell him you know his brother (which hopefully won't get you eight-sixed!). You'll be glad you did, I promise.

Thank you,
Scott Gilmore

somehow that reminds me of the time, two guys in a convertable went by. I could see and hear the driver pointing and saying, "hey, there's a guy in a kilt." I could see the other guy looking where the first was pointing, at me, and saying, "Where?"

OK, I almost choked on my soda when I read this, I was laughing so hard.

My favorite? I'm walking across campus with my Black Watch on, sporran, hose, the works, and this Chinese woman comes running up to me. She grabs me by the arm, and exclaims...

oh, you must be Jewish!

If she could tell from that distance, your kilt is too short!

cheers

I direct a summer hiking program in a small community. A woman drove up to our little nature center yesterday, jumped out, and said "I've found a snake in my yard, will someone come and catch it?" This is a pretty common request. I was in my Wallace SWK, and told her I would be happy to do it. I grabbed a bag and hopped into her car for the short ride to her house. After bagging the snake we drove back to the nature center and put it (a very pretty adult female Copperhead) into our display case. She then loudly exclaimed to the gathered crowd "I knew that a man in a kilt was just the man for the job!"

Today my family went to a free reggae concert in the park in downtown San Jose. My six year old son (very proud to be wearing his new Royal Stewart sportkilt) and I were kilted. A fellow with a small child and a slightly stupified gaze walked up to me. He pointed to me and said "you're Dutch, right?" I replied "Scot". He thought about this and extended his hand and said "Scott, I'm Joe". I smiled and continued on my way.

During the couple of hours I was there I heard:

"You look sexy in your kilt"

"Nice kilt"

"They are Scottish"

"They all wear them in Scotland"

And: One older fellow with long gray hair wearing a blue printed sarong, t-shirt, and sandals just looked at me , smiled, gave me a thumbs up, and continued on his way.

A very interesting concert.

Cheers
