A rather presumptuous store clerk.....

Yesterday, I was in a clothing store with my wife. (We were both wearing pants at the time.) After picking out a sweater I'd been looking for, we found a cute corduroy skirt that fit my wife perfectly. She was reluctant to spend the money, so I offered to purchase it for her. While my wife was looking at one of the displays, I went to the sales counter to pay. I laid the merchandise on the counter and reached for my wallet. The sales clerk took one look at me and then at the skirt and remarked with a slightly sarcastic tone, "I'm sure you'll look cute in the skirt!".
"Sorry to disappoint you", I replied with a grin. "I don't think it would fit me... it's for my wife".
"Shall I gift wrap it then?", she asked.
"Not necessary... it's no surprise... she's standing right over there".
By this time she realized that the purchase was legit and looked slightly embarrassed.
Don't feel bad", I added,"I have been known to wear a kilt on occasion".
She smiled slightly rolled her eyes and shook her head. I chuckled to myself as I we left the store. It would have been much more fun if I'd worn a kilt. I might just do that this weekend just to 'give her the gears'.
