    Un-expected reaction

    Just got back from going to the bank - on exiting, a woman glanced at me then passed by, and then said to her male companion - "Oh I forgot to wear green!"

    Now what was unexpected about it was that I didn't have a touch of green on. Tan shirt, MaQueen kilt, tan hose, red flashes, black leather, black balmoral. But she looked at a man in a kilt and was reminded that it was St Patrick's Day..... go figure..

    Kind of arrogant of you Jay, might not have anything to do with St. Patricks day. Green is also the sign of horni... of envy! Perhaps the sight of you just lit a fire in her *.

    Dude we've both been told to add smileys lest people think we're only joking.

    Maybe just generally Celtic? That's the way I read that- kilts=Celtic=Irish/Scottish/Welsh etc. (Yes, I know kilts are originally Scottish, but they have come in my experience to be representative to the masses at large of Celtic ancestory.)

    Was out and about in my Ireland's National semi-trad today and got two identical unexpected reactions. A wolf whistle at the post office and another wolf whistle at the supermarket. Go figure. No clue about the former, but there was a busload of Italian tourists in the supermarket...
