This is LA after all.

That would have been a great comeback because in LA plastic surgeons are only outnumbered by attorneys (no disrespect intended towards either profession). This was a perfect example of the old adage "Less is More". In hindsight, it was none of her business that I wasn't a Scot. I'm not ashamed of or embarassed by my Italian ancestry, but why offer information that would invite such an insult? It's like The Question........why answer and spoil the mystique? If someone wants to believe I'm a Scot because of my kilt, why not let them? From now on, when I'm dressed in that manner, I'm a Scot and will just leave it at that. The only thing "fake" that day was the "class" that woman supposedly had because she was at the opera. My ancestors, the Romans, invaded Scotland centuries ago, so I may even be more Scot than I realize. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!
Cheers!
