Idiot in a skirt!

[auld argonian]

At a recent event, I had a very snotty, old acquaintance (and I use that word in a very qualified sense) who fancies herself the queen of the intelligentsia come over (in spite of the fact that I had been avoiding her all night) and say, "John, I just wanted to compliment you on your skirt." Having dropped her bomb, she turned and started to walk away and I said, "It's a kilt. I'm surprised that you didn't know that...maybe you should get out more."

In a pub in which someone is outspoken enough to bring attention to my kilt with a negative attitude is probably too drunk to comprehend any response back; so, he gets my understanding, forgiveness and my silence. Besides, I only care what women say.

"...I don't know how I would have reacted - since my physical disability would not let me engage in a fight. I might have wacked the guy with my cane..."

I read this, looked at your avatar and then read you're a Viet Nam vet. I have a funny feeling you remember enough hand-to-hand to go William Wallace on his a** with that aluminum cane.

There's a story that once, in battle, Robert the Bruce brought his axe down on an enemy's head so hard it broke the axe handle. After it happened, his men rallied around this amazing feat, and all Robert could do was grouse that he'd broken a really nice axe.

I have a feeling you'd break your cane.

When a fool and a drunk are arguing, how can you tell them apart? The drunk may sober up.

How do you know it's a fool and a drunk? Only a fool would argue with a drunk.

I know about drunks. After I got back from Southeast Asia, I was one until my Lady straightened me out.

I have heard it all and like many of you have many responses for the under the kilt question. Does anyone have any good responses to the idiot in the pub telling everyone you are wearing a skirt? Ignoring him works but a quick response is sometimes more fun.

Hey there, fellow Coloradoan. When is the next time you're going to said bar? Having a 300 lb redhead going with you may make a difference in the attitudes...

Yeah. My friends call me Imish.

Ok--who 'bumped' this thread LOL?

Here's a few of my repeonses to drunken idiots;

"Really...your (mom/girlfriend) LOVES this tartan!"
"Pants don't give me the room I need"
"No...this is called a KILT...a skirt is what you wear when your wife leaves town" (I advise ducking after this one.)

When I just don't want to argue...I turn, fold my arms across my chest and say "Yeah, I wear a kilt--AND I live in Detroit...no..not the suburbs...DETROIT...what was it you were saying?" ;-) Hey Big Paul--hope ya like that one.
