Well, I've been wearing kilts on Fridays since August. When that question comes up I respond "It's Kilted Friday." One fellow today, responded back, "Oh, I hadn't heard."

"It's the pants alternative."

And then, to get them really paranoid:

"Really...they're coming back in in a very serious way...a month from now you'll all be asking me where you can get them."

I was in line to buy movie tickets when the guy behind me asked why I was wearing a kilt. I told him it was because it's easier to sneak food into the theater when it's strapped to my leg. The look on his face was priceless.
