Weird questions

[Sir Robert]

Where do these people come from?

I wore a set of Army Dress Blues last week, a uniform that has changed little in some 140 years, NOBODY knew what service I was in without asking.

I must have seen dozens of movies with men in kilts by the time I was 10 years old all about scots. I might have recognized a kilt at age 5 but never have I ever heard of kilts = Commie.

***?

I think the folks who have been saying it's just a word that means "not normal" for some people are on the right track. It goes back to the 80s when Communism was still actually seen as a threat.

I worked in the USSR when it was still a communist state. Kilts. Not so much. Does not strike me as something they would have liked.

Grandpa: My Homer is not a communist. He may be a liar, a pig, an idiot, a communist, but he is not a porn star.

Having read these posts I think the above states it all, I know I have used that term myself to desribe something that was not normal.

It must be somethig in the air.
Yesterday, while waiting for Ham 'n Dave at the airport, two flight attendants in their fifties walked by.
"Well, you must be a wrestler!" said one.
I stopped and looked at her to make sure she was talking to me.
"Wrestler?" I asked.
"I just thought that because of your skirt."
I blinked once, then bent slightly, assumed a wrestler's pose and said, "That's it! Two falls out of three!"
They got a good laugh out of it.

Wrestler???
