    I'm not mentioning any names but someone sounds a little loopy this morning.

    I don't know, I kind of like it! In this world where some move from polite right through politically correct to idiotic, it might be fun to call them on their wildness in the wilderness.

    Tarheel - you, being Southern, already have a retort with a venerable cultural heritage behind it: "Bless your heart".

    Actually Creag, you did not miss much. I was trying to be a tad humorous in a mischievous sort of way, but on reflection, perhaps my post was rather too contentious and at the moment I can do with a quiet life, so I had hoped that I might have deleted the whole thing, before anyone read it.

    We love political correctness on this side of the Pond...

    Well, she doesn't look frightened to me, but then maybe she'd tell me in confessional.

    I'm pretty sure that's a lazy newspaper, I'm sure I read about that last year!

    About 16 years ago, I was at an outdoor St. Patrick's Day celebration when someone with too much beer in his belly whispered in my ear during the loud music that I, in my kilt, must be a sheep-shagger. Being at the commencement of middle age, I looked around first to notice several off-duty cops working security, and thought it best not to punch him. So, I put up my hands and walked off without a retort.

    Another time at an indoor pub, I was seated at the bar when a drunk woman insisted on knowing what was under my kilt. I didn't play along, so she got very surly with me. I kept my cool and said nothing; then, seated next to her was her 20-something son who apologized for his mother's behavior. So, again no response from me other than to salute the son and leave my seat.
