Kilt salesman wannabe

[jgcunningham]

This man has been bugging a kilt dealer for a long time for a job, and finally the kilt dealer looks at him in disgust and says, "Look, I'll make a deal with you.

I've got one kilt that I just haven't been able to sell -- that purple, red, and green thing in the corner. If you can sell it while I'm out to lunch; you can have a sales job here for life!"

And with a smug smile he goes to lunch. He comes back and the man runs up to him, exclaiming:

"I sold the kilt! I sold the kilt!"

The owner looks at him in dismay -- the man's clothes are ripped and torn all to hell, his face is scratched and bruised and bleeding.

The owner says, "What happened; did the customer put up a fight!?"

The man quickly replies,

"Oh, no; not at all -- but his seeing eye dog was very annoyed"

All those who got as far as " that purple, red, and green thing in the corner" and then spent 5 minutes trying to figure out what tartan it is....... raise your hand

So, Tony, what are the main contenders for that tartan? ;)

First off the top of my head would be IoS, which I think, however, would sell itself. Not sure of a particularly hideous tartan in those major colors, but we may find out soon.

Checked the tartan register...

It COULD have been....

a Fiddes Clan tartan

My hands are down.
Though after reading FM's post about IoS, maybe the cheap variant Bright Skye with a splash of red would do the trick.

Yeah, I pretty much think "IoS" whenever I hear "purple."

But then, with the last name Hays, and growing up in the '60s, "Purple" was my nickname...

First thought through my head:

Second thought: "Wait - dogs are red-green colorblind ... how ugly was this thing, that a dog who only saw it as gray stripes would react like that?!"
