Idiot in a skirt!

...no damage done.

Nuts!

When I hear all of these "clever" remarks drunks make, I am reminded of a sign on of my customers has on his barn wall.

'Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.'

Now just to remember that when the words start flying....

Once I acted all surprised and said, "I'm wearing a skirt? Jeez, I better take it off before someone else notices!"

Yes, and for added effect, start to open the right lower buckle

My greater concern on St. Paddy's, in a crowded barroom amongst drunken revelers in a wide range of inebriated states is the one sneaky bastid who decides that what you are or are not wearing under the kilt has suddenly become his own personal business.

Words don't often drive me to violence (I'm 6'1" over 300 lbs so if the other guy gets hurt really bad, I could be in big trouble... I wouldn't look good in front of a jury) but what you describe here is flat out sexual assault, akin to being groped, and is fully deserving of self defense. That's a whole different thing than being heckled.

When it comes to hecklers, I'm usually all about the one-liners. Leave them looking stupid and gain the favor of any ladies accompanying them, adding insult to injury.

I agree with Magnus. Every situation has it's merits. Should a buxom beauty ask for a kilt check, more oft than not those who allow them would prolly oblidge her ( although not lifting the kilt themselves for the world to see ). Being physically molested because some intoxicated idiot decides that it is their personal quest to get under your kilt? that is a completley different story, and grounds for just about any kind of defense you can muster, be it a hand, cane or well-aimed verbal jab.

I'm sure they were dubbed "privates" for a reason. For you and those you chose to share them with, and no one else.

I have only had the "skirt" comment twice. On both occasions I gave a very polite and sincere "thank you". The person was stopped in his/her tracks and we all went about our business.

Having sobered up, I seldom frequent bars; so I avoid the drunks. As a matter of fact, the last time I was in a bar was for a kilt night and only had great comments.

[Computergeek]

my typical response to the skirt comment in a bar is ask them if that is the best comment they can come up with, then I offer to buy them a beer if they can come up with something original that I haven't heard before: so far no-one has even come close to being paid. lol

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."

Best
