How to know a McDonald

[Benning Boy]

I've been kilting the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska these past few days. Today when boarding an excursion boat, a crew member, a half-Scotch gal with a brogue asked The Question as I came aboard. For once I didn't have a ready answer. She decided everything must be in working order.

Then, turning to the crowd on the deck she asked loudly, "How do you tell a Scotsman's clan? Lift his kilt and if you see two quarter-pounders then he's a McDonald." That was a new one on me. There was a round of laughter, then we all went whale watching.
