I love that one Anthony! I have to wear a black uniform shirt that has the Harley logo and the store name on it and peolpe will still come up to me and ask "do you work here?".. Then I go to Home Depot or one of my favorite music stores and I swear it's the same people who come up and ask "do you work here?". I'm beginning to think that my boss has hired some kind of surveillance group to figure out just exactly where it is that I really do work!

p.s. to get back on topic, when they ask me if I'm Scottish I just reply "Okay" and let them try to figure out what I'm agreeing with.

That brought back memories from my experience in an American high school.
Q: Are you Chinese
A: Yes, I am
Q: SO you are from China
A: Nope. I am from Hong Kong
Q: But you are Chinese?
A: Yes.
Q: How can you be Chinese and not from China?
A: Because Hong Kong is a British Colony and I was born there.
Q: SO you are British?

I gave up on the long answer sometime ago and just give the short verson..."My family was and I decided to carry on the tradition." The other question is "Do you play the pipes?" My response is, "No, but I drink Scotch. Want to buy me some?"
This get a variety of responses...I'm still waiting for a "Yes"!
