Overheard - Take two

[string]

I know! I was at a party in Colonial Williamsburg with a bunch of employees. And what do I see but a man in Black Watch. Unfortunately I didn't get much a chance to talk to him, but I was so mad, because a friend had tried to get me to come in a kilt, but I'd demurred, because I get tired of being mistaken for an employee myself, just because I'm not in pants.

When my family and I go to Williamsburg we get mistaken for the employees too, but usually only to ask where the bathrooms are. We haven't been for a few years, but when we did go every year we were asked to go in 18th century costume. Of course we ladies recognized as being "with the drunk guys in the booth" and we had to explain that that was them perfectly sober.
