Darn Stereotypes

[wildrover]

But aren't you being a bit closed-minded towards college towns (and students, for that matter) yourself?

I'll admit to turning up the squelch when I graduated and had to fend for myself !

I also enjoy the humour of it, and indeed that is kind of the point at some level. I especially enjoy the conversations that get a little deeper, so I can upset a couple more stereotypes.

Good for you, and your sense of humour !

And Ron, I respectfully disagree with your definition of normal. Mine is this: "Normal people are only the ones you don't know well."

The only time I got a derogatory comment about wearing the kilt, was a remark made under the breath by an elderly man in a grocery store in a small town in which a Highland games was held.

It is interesting the reactions one gets when wearing a kilt. One of our friends just adopted a little girl and she has seen me on a number of occasions picking up my sons from after school care. Tonight, while wearing pants, she picked me out of a couple hundred people and told her new mother that I was "the teacher who wears skirts". I am not a teacher, but I just laughed at the innocence of a six-year old. I seem to get the most negative comments from teenage boys. I figure at least they have seen someone wearing a kilt and therefore it will be less foreign the next time they see someone the next time.

THe first time ever wore thekilt out I wasin a medium sized city. I went into a store and an older guy standing there looked at me and said, "You're the first man I've seen wearing a kilt today." any apprehension I might have had simply vanished.
