something else to keep in mind, many folk will ask the dumbest question, but in an earnest attempt to find out information.
I have found that if I answer their question (sarcastically intended or not) as accurately and informed as possible, it tends to dissuade from attempts at ridicule.
Except for those that I have a taunting relationship with . . . for those, my stock answer to most queries (men and women) is, "I understand, you're just jealous that my calves are nicer than yours. We all have crosses to bear in life."

If you do get a hostile question, chip on shoulder, alpha male question...you'll know by the tone and approach...and the question is along the lines of "Why are you wearing that?"
Just smile and answer, "My balls made parole."
Got that off this board. I find it usually brings a rush of humor to a tense situation, defuses the tension, and brings a smile to the questioner.
Hopefully, you won't need to use it, but nice to have it ready if needed.
You'll do well.

ha one i thought of for the "why would you wear that?" question is because pants cannot contain my massive fallace" Im known in my class as a fighter ,not because im always starting fights but beacuse i have trained in MMA so im more on the alpha male side but I dont use my knowledge of hand to hand combat to beliitle others or make myself dominant because i find that there is no honor in that. I have never had a fight in public or in school except for when I was at a military school for 2yrs. Ill do my best to honor the kilt and make more a sign of a gentleman than of a punk
