    Yesterday one man came to me in at the mall and asked me in Finnish "Are you a little stupid because you are wearing that ridiculous thing." I answered him in english, trying my best to sound like a real Scot "Sorry, I dont understand what you are talking about?" He then said in worst english I probably ever heard "Oh, I'm really sorry, I thought you were a finn!" I continued in finnish "Yes, I am and kilts are from Scotland". He went silent and took off

    Sherry .. I certainly intend to treat the guy as if nothing happened next time I see him. If for any reason he starts warbling again, I will be prepared for it, and I will try and explain to him the reasons why I wear my Cilt. If that turns out just like water off a ducks back, I shall simply say cheerio and continue on my way.
