Aren't your LEGS cold?

I told someone yes I was, I forgot my gloves. Stopped them cold.

I made my regular Sunday morning trip to Church about two weeks ago, with the morning temperature at -10f. I had stopped for fuel at a self serve station and was fueling my vehicle when a young gentleman wrapped in three shirts, sweatshirt, and parka over a pair of way to loose jeans, hanging low enough to display his boxer shorts said to me "you must be freezing in that skirt!" I looked at him, looked down at the fringe of his shorts, looked back up at him and said " My kilt is 24 feet of wool wrapped around the most important part of my body, and it is quite toasty compared to a thin layer of cotton polyester boxer shorts." He looked at me with that "deer in the headlights" look, and quietly pumped the fuel in his car. I finished my fueling and hopped up into the cab of my truck with a big smile on as he had been leaning his tail against the crash Bollard and the shorts had frozen to it. Made my day.
Kilts rule.

I've been out in the freezing weather and had the question, too.

My answer was that there was so much wool ( a 22 oz Gordon from WPG) and hot papa that the temp was not a problem.

I got a smile from the lasses assembled.

Sometimes somethings are just soooooo right and they happen to the truuuuuuuuuly deserving.

My answer? I have two- It's nine yards of wool!! What do you think?

Naw- I wear batter powered boxers.

I get that question 3 or 4 times a week.
I usually reply 'No, but maybe when winter arrives.'
This response is most effective when it's -35C.

I just tell them I played soccer for so many years my legs are insensible to the cold. Also I point out it's easier for me to take off my jacket when I get hot than for them to take their p***s off when they get hot.

I was up this morning walking the dogs at 4:00, before going to work wishing that I could get away with wearing my kilts to work. Thinking that as I dreaded the mile walk to the train station wearing a pair of dockers. NO match for 8 yards of wool.

This past sunday evening in a pub in Asheville, I got that question from a guy at the bar. I didn't have to answer as the guy next to him said, "Nah, legs don't get cold like torsos do. Besides, haven't you seen youngsters in shorts this time of year?" Sometimes it's good to keep one's mouth shut, and let others do the talking. ...a friend once said I was a good conversationalist because I knew when to smile and when to nod. anyway....

In the past week or two, I had three people ask me if I was cold... One woman in her 40's, and two teenage girls who go to a private girls-only school in the Seattle area... Response was usually "Surely, you jest..." One of the two girls, I actually had to show the thickness of the wool, and then mentioned that there was 9 yards of the stuff. At that point, she realized that it was much warmer than her uniform, which was augmented with a pair of sweats underneath the black watch tartan miniskirt.
