Protect yourself!

Sorry James, I don't agree.

Perhaps it is a generational thing, IIRC, you are past 60. (My apologies if I'm wrong.)

The younger generation, of which I hardly qualify for membership, does like the kilt because of it's strong masculine attraction to the opposite sex. They don't mind the attention, and generally rather enjoy it.

The curiosity, or "prurient interest" is already there. It needs no encouragement on our part, and no amount of discouragement will make it go away. All we can do is deal with it in various manners. We can be rude, crude, calm, mean, prudish, lascivious or humorous. All those responses have their place.

This little card is nothing more than a little humor. Fact is, I'm thinking of adding the line of warning "Cautions! Things seen under a kilt might be larger than they appear!"

I can see both sides of the argument. Since I'm pretty new to the kilt, I've only been subjected to one kilt lifting (fortunately I was not regimental). I turned around quick enough to completely embarrass the young lady who did it and actually had to calm her down.

As long as kilt wearing men are in the minority, which we all have to admit we most certainly are, we will be the center of attention and subject to speculation.

This subject has been talked to death on other posts, so I just say approach it calmly with a bit of humor. The cards are funny, but they're not something I would use.

I certainly see both sides of the argument as well, and like Dave, while the card did produce a wee chuckle out of me, I doubt I would ever use it.

Like James, I like the sense of mystery as to "what is under the kilt" -- and my usual response to those who asks of the female sex is:

"A lady never asks, and a gentleman never tells"

That causes the "old wheels to turn" in the enquirer's brain, and makes the subject of what is worn under the kilt even more appealing, thus making James's and Doc Hudson's points both true: maintain the mystery, and the girls will be even more intrigued! :mrgreen:

I will also tell them to do a google search for "Hong Kong Kilt" for the answer (try it!)

Cheers,
