    Oh ow - oh dear - my ribs ache from coughing and now you make me laugh - reclining with the chocolate and the er cough mixture to hand, wrapped in my cosy blankie - no no - plaid, yes, it is a warm plaid -

    I think that whilst a kilt lift possibly did occur it can't really be counted as a kilt check if there was no second party involved - though someone with a set of binoculars might yet come forward to confirm that the event did actually happen.

    In my case there was a second, and a third, and a fourth, etc. party involved!

    I'm sorry Grant, I wanted to consider it to be a full blown kilt check (pun intended.) However, there are rules for this sort of thing, and one just can't proceed willy-nilly over the rules.

    On second thought, because it's you (and my wife is laughing hysterically,) I'll rate that a 5. On a scale of 1-20.

    Yes there are ways, and usually you can find willing helpers at the local pub...

    If you have trouble down your way, come west, Grant. I have a pub for you, just down the avenue. If I can get kilt checked, so can you...

    [But I could also recommend a couple of places in Toronto if you're 1) really desperate and 2) willing to brave it without a chaperone. Just leave the rubber chicken sporran at home, for its own good.]

    For some reason this reminds me of a line that Eddie Murphy had in "48 Hours".

    But if we count it for you, it counts for everyone else. Fair's fair, you know.

Included, but not limited to, nosings by dogs, clawings by cats, nips by horses, goosings by geese, and buttings by goats. And if any of these are witnessed by people (or some reasonable facsimile thereof), then we reclassify the incident as a standard kilt-check, pursuant to meeting the criteria of Section 9(a)(ii)(@).
