    Phil you get 10 pts for the compliment, and an additional 10 pts for your polite response back.

    Never underestimate the power of the kilt.

    Excellent, Phil. You must be a good ambassador for the kilt, and hopefully the young students will follow your example. I don't often get compliments on my kilts though I did get one from a lady today who told me that my black heavyweight kilt looked very smart.

    You couldn't have made the point to that young man any better, had you planned it. A perfect golden opportunity. Outstanding!

    Great story. I'm sure the look on the young guy's face was priceless.
