Are you supposed to wear a kilt improperly when the Queen is sitting on the throne? I guess the "Dos and Don'ts" thread just turned on its ear!

Would the Queen sitting on the throne result in a "royal flush"?

Great story, I was having one of those days today too, but I just got home from a wicked good party with some friends that really helped cure that.

I have those days too. I know that when I wear the kilt I should expect a lot of reactions, but honestly, some days I just want to be left alone. Can't I just be comfortable in peace?!?

The worst part of trying to be alone when you are having a bad day is the people that won't leave you alone. I had a bad day at work the other day. Usually, I do my work in solitude. This day, the customer is on me like a blanket. Real talky. He was finally paged to his office. All I could think of was peace and quiet.
