I agree with Magnus too. I was not offended by the last encounter I just considered how silly she was behaving. Some would have been offended I am sure but I was not. I never have respomnded in kind when I get a negative comment. If I deliver anything pointed it comes with a bit of honey.

If you note James in the thread "I like your Skirt" in the General Kilt Talk" section. I reported that I recieved the "I like your Skirt" comment from a very nice and polite young lady and I was quite flattered by it because she clearly meant it as a compliment I really actually enjoyed hearing it from her because her intent was clearly complimentary.

I pretty much shared the whole conversation I had with the dumb blonde. My tone through out was kind and pleasant even in the "I am from my mother..." remark I made. She did not take it offensively either. but then she was still doing her silly dancing around so I am sure her head was full of air...

This encounter was not confrontational as far as I was concerened and to repeat I was not offended, I just thought she was being a poor salesman for the product she was pushing but if I wanted the moose I would have bought it anyway. I told my wife the gal is probably quite nice and the life of the party. She just should have realized it was not the time or place for her comments... and dancing
