    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

    Wait a week and do it on April 6th - Tartan Day.

    Or do it on both... but Tartan Day's a good day for it. "School Officials" hate to hear "culturally significant date" in reference to dress code "issues."

    I have discovered that when I plan things to say that when the situation arises, my response is always something different anyway. I never know what will come out of my mouth, but after the fact I always thinks of many things I could have said. It all depends on the person asking and how it sounds from them.

    Just be proud, have fun, and make some people jealous. Let us know how it went.

    DALE.

    You don't have to be Scottish to be comfortable!
