    Probably a stupid question but...

    ignore this question as I figured it out myself the hard but embarrasising way----just opening my eyes a bit wider.

    Hate to say it, but it is a stupid question now, since the only stupid question is the one never asked.

    In the future we all should remember that if one of us has a question there are probably 25 others with the same or similar question. Even if it has been asked 100 times before, it may have been asked in a way that makes it hard to find in the search engine.

    Even if the question is "Do the pleats go in the front or back?" there may be a newbie that also needs to know - so ask.

    Pleats go to the front lad, that way when you sit you don't wrinkle those beautiful pleats, seating is much more comfortable on the smoothe apron of the kilt, and you won't have to turn your backside to us to show us your pleat pics.

    Just as a Martian arriving on Earth would use common sense to figure out pants were for women and kilts were for men, that same Martian would put the kilt pleats to the front for comfort and beauty.

    Pleats to the front! Rebel in the name of common sense and comfort!

    Yesterday, courtesy of You Tube, I had the pleasure of introducing my children to Marvin the Martian in "Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2 Century". They loved it.

    Marvin has always been my favorite Lonney Tune character.
