Made my day at the gas station....

I stopped for some gas while I was out running some errands today, sporting my SWK Nightstalker and "got kilt?" t-shirt. I pull in on the other side of the pumps from a mother and (I assume) her 20 something daughter busy gassing up their PT Cruiser.

As I hop out, the daughter is looking at my car, (you have to look, it's a really bright mid-life crisis red sportscar) And when I close the door she just about sh*ts and says something I couldn't hear to mom, most likely "hey that guy's wearing a skirt" etc.

So a few seconds later the mom stops whatever she's doing and steps around to my side of the pumps where by now I'm pumping my gas, and she looks me up and down I'm like "How are ya' doing today!" she says "Just fine" and steps back over and tells the kid "That's a kilt, and I think he looks pretty good!"

That's too cool.

You know how the old saying goes. "Mother know best."

Thank God for women with some experience--they make life enjoyable!

You know...... The 18 or 20 year old daughter didn't make that much of an impression on me. The mom, who was still likely a couple of years younger than me, was looking pretty good though :mrgreen:

I went into my bank later on. There were only two or three customers in the place, so I cruised straight up to the teller and did my deposit. And although nobody said anything to me or that I could hear, when I turned around to leave, all the bank employees (99% female) were out of their offices or peeking around doorways at me!

I felt like a celebrity for a day

Then again, they probably look at crazy people the same way!

I must admin that everyday in a kilt finds new ways for people to fumble around at the site of a man in a kilt who doesn't have a bagpipe in his hands. I was at a local computer store trying to find somthing to prevent my computer from overheating, and a woman walked into the aisle, looked up, and walked right into a shelf. I found it rather comical.

And, as we all know, there are those times when you are out and about, head held high, and everyone in viewing distance stops at once point or another to see the man in a kilt. Always fun.
