I notice that a lot of folks have trouble coming up with the word kilt, maybe because they use it so seldom.

My standard response to a skirt comment is, "Thank you, a kilt is a type of skirt." And I leave it at that.

Made a supply run to WalMarche' today and got two unusual comments. One in the aisles from a lady even older than I, "The Campbells are coming?" Politely answered, "No, the MacLeans." Had on my MacLean Hunting semi-trad.

Out in the parking lot a man driving a tour van said with a heavy Scottish accent, "You're not Scottish are you??" Told him, "No, but my blood is."

He seemed satisfied and drove off with his vanload of tourists.

The comments come so often and from so many varied places I don't think its possible to be ready for every one every time.
