Well that turned out to be a good presentation.

So I'm taking an Intercultural Communication class this semester. I figured as I intend to travel abroad, it would be a worthwhile class. For this week, we were told to brush up on our heritage, and give a brief talk over our own heritage in front of the class.

I was prepared to do mine Wednesday, not today. Of course, I opened my mouth to speak to another student, and the professor took that as me volunteering to speak, so my talk was more or less impromptu.

So I spoke briefly on my Scottish and Irish background, mentioned that I own and wear kilts occasionally (I've not yet worn one this semester), and that I'll be starting on the pipes this week.

The best part of course were the comments that the professor asked everyone make and pass to the speaker.

A couple samples - most of which were from the ladies

"Interesting presentation. You need to wear your kilt!

"
"Very interesting. You should wear your kilt

"
". . . and the kilt will look good."

It's funny though, I didn't expect quite so many positive comments from this class especially, in a hick town in Kentucky.

yeah, it is amazing how well recieved the kilt is, even if you never see it!

NEVER underestimate the power of the kilt! I'm a kilted community college teacher in northern Idaho - one of the most rural and conservative states in the union. I get many positive comments - mostly from students! They're right - wear your kilt and enjoy yourself!

God show on the presentation.

And you should definitely wear the kilt to class. Not only will you help to broaden their horizons, you might do a little to broaden your own. specially with the lassies.

Couldn't hurt.
