    I thought a bridie was a meat pie, not unlike an empanada. Then again, I have no connection to Hispanic culture beyond where I live so I may have botched the comparison as well as the description...

    Bryan...just tell her to get the Scotch eggs... :-)

    I don't know if any of you others have copped this question...

    The former lead singer of my band got asked the following when kilted at a gig:

    "So, what school did you go to?" (Referring, of course, to the fact that lots of girls' school uniforms include tartan skirts)

    The guy who asked was having a very good-hearted chuckle and he meant the comment as an ice-breaker rather than a full-on jibe. My mate saw the funny side of it and ended up having a beer with the guy.

    Regards,

    troy

    Actually, in his case it would have been quite appropriate!

    'Hard Knocks' would probably have done the trick too!

    I could honestly reply "Edinboro ...................... University of Pennsylvania."
    Pack rat that I am, I probably still have that student ID five years after getting my Master's ... I think I'll go take a look.
