    Jonesing

    Hi. New member here and was going through back posts to see what kinds of things were posted about. I came upon McMurdo's post where he mentioned that wiki was not 100%. Man has he got that right. Here is a wiki excerpt concerning Highland dress:

    Kilt
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Styles of kilt wear


    Today most Scotsmen see the kilt as formal dress or ceremonial dress. For Scotsmen, the kilt is usually worn with a Prince Albert or an Argyll jacket. Irishmen on the other hand commonly wear the Brian Boru or the Kilkenny jacket with the kilt. They are often worn at weddings or other formal occasions, while there are still a few people who wear them daily. The kilt is also used for parades by groups such as the Scouts, and in many places the kilt is seen in force at Highland games and pipe band championships as well as being worn at Scottish country dances and ceilidhs.

    A Prince Albert???????????? Give me break. Just thought you might be as amused by it as I was. I swear, I didn't make that up. You can check the site for yourself. Slainte.

    A Prince Albert? That would be painful!

    It brings up the ancient crank call question:
    Do you have Prince Albert in a can??

    (store-owner)--YES.

    --You'd better let him out!
