A Kilted Adventure at WalMarche'

**Riverkilt** · 25th June 12, 08:22 AM

So its summer and 104 in my little town deep in the Canyonlands. I've gone to my USA Kilts PV Casuals to stay cool. But the underwear I wear under the kilt at work is long boxer style. Figure Fruit of the Loom makes the same thing in a brief and head out to the big box super store to see if they do.

I'm in luck, they do make them and my size is in stock. Pick up a few more things and check out.

When I get to check out the cashier knows me and we're chatting. There's a flock of kids in line with their father behind me. The kids start asking why the man is wearing a dress. He's trying to explain that its a kilt and points out that kilted men don't wear underwear...then one of the brighter daughters asks if that's true why is the cashier ringing up a five pack of Fruit of the Looms for me??? Then the cashier starts teasing me - "Yeah, why are you buying underwear if you're kilted?"

Said, "Because of overly curious children." and got outta there....jeez...felt like I was caught red handed breaking some expectation of "knowledgeable" fathers.

Anyway...kilted at work today in the new shorter Fruit of the Looms and it does feel a lot cooler.

LOL!

It's so funny to me that that the underwear thing is the one detail everyone seems to know about kilts

We have to wear suits daily where I work; but on occasion, we will have a fund-raiser that allows the staff to wear blue jeans for a fee of $15 per week. For one of these Blue Jean Week Fundraisers, I was attempting to get permission to wear the kilt instead of blue jeans and I offered to pay a higher sum for the privilege. I made the mistake of asking the persnnel director in the middle of our quiet dining area of the cafeteria because she responded in a rather large volume, "WELL, I'M OKAY WITH IT AS LONG AS YOU WEAR UNDERWEAR!"

In my way of thinking...If the first thought that comes to a ladies mind is my possible lack of underwear...Life aint all bad!

Of all of the times that I've worn the kilt, I've been asked that question only by one rather attractive lady.

Oh, Ron - best laugh I've had in a long while.

I once caught a vegetarian (bordering vegan) ex-girlfriend tucking into a MacDonalds - she claimed it was "research".

I laughed then too.

Regards

Ron: Great response - quick thinking. I would have said something "cool" like, "They're for my wife", ... or my dog, ... or my high-fiber diet.
