Well, my wife says that the kilt is a ... african american chic magnet... so her (the afore mentioned...) asking if I am swedish and in the olympics... ummm. oh. PRICELESS

I can't count the number of times someone has come up to us in shops when in America and asked if we are from England. After the totally blank looks when we say we are from Scotland (Gee where is that?) we gave up on that and now ask "Are you from Canada then?". It seems to provoke a more meaningful discussion on national distinctions.

Even if she wasn't, she was seriously geographically challenged!

Sometimes it is best to not say anything and keep walking because it only gets worse............as it is known to be said in the south..........Bless Her Heart

Maybe she is coloring her hair, so she's using "artificial intelligence"

I've stopped counting the number of times I've been asked if I was English when I'm wearing my kilt. Usually this is by people of Asian ancestry. Every once in a while I get asked if I'm Irish. Probably because I have red hair.

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 >
