To kilt or not to kilt: A St. Paddy's Day conundrum

[JS Sanders]

With everything that's been said....

By all means, don your kilt for your local St Paddy's Observances. Compliments'll be plenty and it might even get you a free pint or two. If you can tag along with some kilted street performers, they'd most likely enjoy having some 'muscle' nearby to keep the rowdies at bay. Sure makes us feel more at ease when someone's checking our six.

Of course with the pleasurable comes the painful. You very well may get your pleats lifted, be assaulted with The Question, or be the victim of spilt alcohol. Being prepared beforehand on how you'd react will help to insure a positive outcome.

From what I've witnessed over the years in downtown Memphis on St Paddy's, if they could encircle it with a 15' fence, it'd be the world's largest zooolgical exhibit.

Also - in my state and presumably most others, it is against the law to bring a weapon into an establishment serving alcohol. A good idea to forego the sgian, or at least tuck it somewhere outta sight.

Slainte yall,

Leave it at home. If there's a brawl and the police find it "concealed" you'll have a bad day.

If you're worried about things getting rowdy, go to your local bank and get a roll of nickels(Make sure it's one of the plastic rolls, not the paper)... instant fist pack, no concealed weapon. Or just wear steel toed boots like I do.
