    Geesh, what were they thinking???

    Classic! This whole story has me laughing. ChattanCat, you should wait a week or two and go back again and have some fun with some of these suggestions.

    When we were camping, our neighbor came up to us and asked if we were Australian. I was confused, and wondered if I had been using my fake accent again. Then I looked over at the "Got Kilt?" sticker on our car and said, "You mean Scottish? Although there are a lot of Scots (criminals, that is) in Australia, and our clan chief (until his death) resided in New Zealand."

    She immediately back tracked and started complimenting him on his kilt.

    Still, not as funny as the story he likes to tell about the person who came up to him and said, "You're Dutch aren't you?". To which he replied, "No, the kilt is Scottish, not Dutch." Then, this person said, "What? No, I was referring to your NOSE!"



    Be well,

    Somehow the brain didn't connect with the other senses before the mouth engaged. I agree with Panache, go back and have some fun next time. (Probably won't happen, though. That is my kind of luck!) In the meantime > int:int:int:
