I was in Wal Mart (forgive me) as I needed new tires early in the a.m. After dropping the ride of for new shoes this dog wandered over to McDonalds for a coffee.

A young lady, pretty and very full figured came up and while staring at my FK asks "Is this authentic?". My reply was just to smile in her direction.

She then added "I mean are you Scottish?". Ahhh, the R U licensed question... Well, well now. "I am descended from two identifiable clans, tell me young lady, are you from Bermuda?".

"No, I'm not" came the confused reply. "In that case" I replied "I am going to have to insist that you take those Bermuda shorts off immediately". She blushed and said "Another time" and walked away giggling with her friends.

I too have noticed that when you are "out of uniform" that folks seem to take that as a license to initiate conversation, get rude, or even challenge you to see if you should really be wearing those clothes.

Strange. Very strange beings these mortals.
