OK, this is too funny not to share.

I'm in line at the Uni bookstore with a card and a bag of Ghiradelli chocolates for my wife (Valentines Day). This nice Chinese girl runs up to me and says..."Are you English or something? I've never seen this before." ..and stares at my kilt.

So I explain about kilts and clans and all that..you know, the thumbnail, thirty second version.

"Wow", she says. "Can I get a picture with you?"

So we proceed, in the middle of the Stanford University Bookstore, to take about twenty pictures of me standing with her various friends, boyfriends and whatnot, who had been hiding behind the card rack all the time and burst out when I said "sure" to the picture request. The three girls were absolutely fascinated by the sporran, and when I showed them that it had my wallet and keys in it, they burst into giggles. I can only imagine what they THOUGHT was in there.

I'm famous. Sort of.

Actually, It's just the kilt.
