Finished up my Christmas shopping today in Best Buy, wearing a rugby shirt and my black Utilikilt original. I pardoned myself and stepped between a man and the television he was watching. His head jerked around and he said, "Hey! ... I ... I like your kilt!"

"Thanks," I said.

He sighed as said, "I wish I had the courage to wear one of those." He seemed a little wistful.

I shrugged. "There's no point wishing for courage," I said, and he agreed.

Is it possible to force someone to have courage? Evidently, this guy is sitting there wishing that someone would break into his house and steal all his trousers, leaving behind just one kilt to get the ball rolling. However, times being what they are, chances of that happening are maybe one in seven, tops. Anyone have any ideas on how to force a guy to have the courage to wear a kilt?

This way, next time I see this guy, I can have a plan of action.
