well crud
As I went to get dressed today, I noticed that there is a hole in the crotch of one of my levi button fly jeans. I wanted to wear them today, and couldn't wear a kilt because I was going to work, so I grabbed my other pair, only to find they were the pair that is over 10 years old, the one I had just got a few months back ripped.
At least I don't have to worry about that problem happening to a kilt, right?

At least you found the holes before you were at work in a meeting with the boss's, boss's boss to evaluate the worth of your existance... in the company.

My boss is my mom. who thinks kilts are dresses and worn by crossdressers, I used the line about her being in pants, and she said 'then let the gays fight to wear dresses' and walked away.
I can't believe I can trace her ancestors all the way back to De Gordon line in the 12th century.

The thing is that yes you can get holes in kilts, but those are mostly from moths so protect against the moth and you should be fine, of course a well placed sporran may help.

This reminds me of a number of things that happened one day at work a few years back that would not have happened if I had worn kilts at the time.
We had a first production run of a new product scheduled for 7 in the evening, so me and another engineer had to stay over to observe the production run. I went out to the assembly line about 6:30 to make sure the stock room had delivered the correct purchased parts. These were on a pallet on the floor. So I grabbed the bill of material and squatted down to check the parts against the bill. Suddenly, I felt the seat of my pants give way. I had split them completely open in front of about 275 production folks  .
I used the bill of material to cover my back side and returned to the office. The other engineer, seeing what had happened to me, starting laughing and leaning backwards in his chair. Well he leaned too far and fell completely over backwards  . After he recovered he went to the production floor while I sat in my office chair and called one of the engineers at home asking him to rush to WalMart to buy me a pair of pants. I had worn dark colored pants that day, and he brought me a pair that were on off white. Changing, I returned to the production floor where it was very obvious that I wasn't wearing the same pants as when I left.
When the production run finished, I bought a canned coke out of the vending machine in the break room and proceeded to spill it all over myself - my shirt and my new pants  . I returned home to a shocked wife wondering what I had spilled all over myself and why I wasn't wearing the same pants that I wore to work . When I showed her the seat of the pants I wore to work . . . And my wife even after we had went to bed for the night . . . News travels fast at work so the people I ran into the next day . . . . Me . . .   .
If any defective product got out that night it was all because of a pair of pants. So I'm all for allowing kilts in the workplace  .

Sorry about that, sathor; I remember the situation now.
Hope all gets better over time.

We have days like that. The good news is,...they help us to appreciate the good days.

Similar situation a couple of years ago...I was rushing to attend an event at my wife's Society and could not, even after ripping the closet apart, find that nice pair of black wool slacks that I had...so I threw on the kilt and shot out the door. Why the kilt? Couldn't find my pants.
You mom ought to lighten up...sounds like she's one-stop-shopping for insulting kilties, gay guys and crossdressers all at the same time. Not to overdo it but I know straight kilties and gay kilties, gay guys who would never wear a kilt and who would be insulted by the idea that they all wear dresses and crossdressers that would consider the kilt a man's garment and not wear it on those grounds.
Ma! Give it a rest!
