Todays funny episode.

One never knows how to start these stories so I will just jump right in. Every morning prior to starting work for the day I head to a local gas station to get a large diet coke and a cup of coffee for the wife. I have been going to this particular store for several years and the staff has gotten quite used to seeing me arrived kilted. Most of the time it is a non event, even with the customers that come in.

Today was a bit different of a story. After getting the items I was looking for I headed up to pay for them. Today there was a new young lass working behind the counter when I placed my items upon it. After glancing at the items to ring them up she cried....

"OH MY GOD!!!!"

Looking back at her, somewhat bewildered, I asked "What? Is someone on fire??!!"

She then exclaimed "You're wearing a kilt!!!"

My response..... Wait for it...... "I know!"

After my response the whole place broke up in laughter and the young lass turned 25 shades of red.... What a great start to a Monday morning.

Nice. I'm sure she'll talk about it with the other employees and they'll tell her to get used to it.

Lol, great story. I visit a gas station down the road pretty frequently, but no one has mentioned my kilt yet.

I have had some interesting things like this happen.
It never fails to amuse me when a few people from a pipe band arrive at a fast food joint the workers there always assume you are some very Important people.

You are some Very Important People: you are customers. Their financial survival is in your hands.

Excellent response! Last time that happened to me, I spun around in three circles, staring at myself, and yelled "Where the h*** did that come from?!?!" I like yours better- simple and to the point.

The last time I got the " You're wearing a kilt!" remark , I looked down at my knees and said; "I thought these plaid shorts were a little drafty"
