Jerks Left Speachless

[wesd]

GOOD DAY, Last night I went by and check out a new watering hole. It was Vetern's Day so I wore my SWK Black Watch. After a pint of a really nice stout I went to the gents, on the way I passed a table with some jerks and you know one of them had to asked "dude why in hell are you wearing a skirt".
Well turning on my heals I responded with "well it's Veterns Day and this kilt shows off some of my scars from injuries when was in the service. ( no combat, just some nasty fires onboard ship) and I show them one on my right leg about six inchs long right between the kilt hem and top of hose. Well then I asked were did any of you guys serve? No respones, they just looked away and tried to get very small, finally one of them looked up and said "sorry". A BIG THANKS TO ALL THE VETS BOTH PAST AND PRESENT, BECAUSE OF THEM WE BREATH FREE AIR AND SLEEP SAFELY AT NIGHT.

Wow, at least you got a sorry. Maybe you helped to make them think before they speak.

Wes,

From one Vet to another, I thank you for putting those jerks in their place.

[Riverkilt]

Wow! What an amazing change in attitude, you must have handled it very well...maybe you should look into crisis work or hostage negotiation...you seem to have a talent for it.

Good answer-they might think twice the next time-but probably not

Wesd,

"scars from injuries when was in the service. ( no combat, just some nasty fires onboard ship)"

Ship fires can be very nasty, indeed. Thank you for your service.

From a fellow that was not able to serve, thanks for both your time in the military and putting those jerks in their place.

[Richland]

Well done,
What a perfect reply on Veterans day.
I too have a few Scars from the "good Old Days" hidden under my kilt hose..

Ha you got a sorry!

so maybe they were not total jerks.... just misinformed?

we tend to forget here that not everyone knows what a kilt is

No joke... My dad could tell you lots about bad ship fires. He was on the Forrestall in Vietnam. In fact, as a photographer/filmographer he was very involved in shooting the footage of the investigation of how the fire started...
