    Wait. Did you say that someone said they saw "more of you than they cared to see" and thereby suggested that you were NOT wearing underwear...when in fact YOU WERE?

    That blows me away. I would have had to fight the urge to say something and suggest that he take a closer look at my "cute caboose".

    OH, heck, why not just give in to the urge. I would have had to inform him of my very low opinion of him and his breeding, and then I just might have upped the kilt and strongly suggested that he kiss it where the sun rarely shines--right on the cute caboose.

    Rude and obnoxious people should be treated in like manner. The real point here is that he obviously did not see anything out of the way; he was only being obnoxious. A very real fault of mine is that I do not suffer fools gladly, especially when they choose to assault me.

    But then, I usually find that verbal sparring with someone like that is akin to picking a fight with a crippled child.

    "I saw a lot more of you than I wanted to see."

    "Oh, well...then it's nice to finally meet you, Superman...how's that x-ray vision thing workin' out for ya?"

    I think it's a sociological thing. A buddy of mine is a kilted bartender at the Bullfrog Brewery here in town and someone made a wise crack when he slightly lifted his outer apron to dry his hands. My friend tried to explain about the inner and outer aprons and lifted the outer to show him there was no danger of reveal but the guy just turned away in disgust and yelled, "I don't need to see it!" before the apron was even up. He wouldn't even look at the bartender for the next few minutes just in case he saw something. most folks in America are poorly informed about the kilt and have no tolerance for any ideas other than what are already in thier heads. They may even see your junk pop out when it did not, imagining a peice of leg as the dreaded batch because they looked away before they actually saw anything and thier imagination did the rest. Some of it is cultural, some is homophobia (as if seeing your junk would make them gay), some is self repression gone too far. Whatever the reason I just roll my eyes and walk away. Better that than try to educate the unteachable.

    Maybe I misspoke... or mistyped as the case would be. He was very polite about it- almost shy about mentioning it! At least, the person in most recent occasion. The first one was someone being rude and obnoxious, and I did indeed show her the Sponge Bob. But the guy this last weekend, it was obvious from his demeanor that he was trying to be as polite and helpful as possible.

    Now that makes a lot sense!! I figured his imagination was filling the blanks... so to speak.
