[quote]I said that I was not with the band and wear the kilt for comfort, she seemed perplexed as to what I was saying.

Hehehe, had a similar reaction by a store clerk. Went to the local Target (kinda like K-mart) and they had a stand set up inside the door for people to sign up for a Target credit card or guest card. The girl saw my Bear Kilt, and asked "Are you Scottish?" My reply was "Nope, American" She stops, and just get's this perplexed look on her face. Her next question was what school I went to. (Must have thought it was a school uniform, and mind you now, I'm obviously in my 30's) My girlfriend replys that it's not a school thing. The girl then looks at me and asks "is it a ... skirt?". "Nope, it's a kilt". I then proceeded to continue walking, my girlfriend shaking her head & muttering about morons. The poor girl still looked confused as we were walking away.
