Bad publicity!

Well if you are ever in Southern Ontario, just do not look at how the women treat Grant on a kilt night and it will all become clear.

Seriously though, I have fought the same type of battle with motorcycle riding unfortunately there exists among us some pretty distasteful people oh well welcome to the human race. It is my hope that disruptive kilties will be taken aside by their friends and shown or told what acceptable behaviour is. All we can strive to be are good examples.

I just started another string with the question of riding with kilts. Am I to take it that it is just not an acceptable practice? I recall using pant leg straps when riding a bicycle. This is going to be a rough decision, ride the bike or wear the tartan. I've not worn a tartan up to this point and am about to order one from Matt tonight.

I always believe that anyone wearing something distinctive is more likely to be on their best behaviour. Anyone out for trouble tries to dress so they can disappear into the crowd and avoid detection after they have made trouble. I tend to be much more wary of somebody in jeans and a baseball cap than I would be of a smartly dressed person.

You will probably never find more clean cut and well dressed individuals than Jeffrey Dahlmer and Timothy McVeigh. Something to think about.

Many witnesses, when asked what someone was wearing, can be vague or general in their answers. How many bulletins have you seen that say something like "the suspect was wearing jeans and a T shirt" etc.

But when the suspect is wearing something more out of the usual such as a kilt they get much more definite.

I look forward to the day when they also have to name the tartan that they were wearing in order to narrow the field of suspects down.

I used this one recently on another thread. (Actually, I think I stole it from here years ago.) Substitute police for Customs.

Good cartoon Archangel thanks!
