In the parking lot, a down-and-outer approached me and clearly had something to say to me. I thought he was going to ask me for a hand-out. Instead, he asked, "You work downtown, don't you?"
"I do," I said, feeling suspicious.
"I've seen you down there, and I have to say you are the sharpest dresser there is." Of course, I have to presume he was talking about my suits and not my kilts.
"Well, thank you for saying so!" I said, loading my sacks into the trunk, now feeling foolish for jumping to conclusions.
Regards,
Rex.
Ha! At least it wasn't like the time I was wearing my bonnet (no kilt, was in **GASP** jeans 
) and this girl starts walking beside me.
She says to me "I really like your hat."
To which I reply "thanks."
Then she adds "could you loan me $5.00" !!??!!
