You might be an X-marker if ... (for the guys in the crowd)

a woman has ever said to you "Dang, you have more skirts than I do."

How about this: You might be an X-Marker if... You are really quite proud that most of these things apply to you.

"silly smile"?! "silly smile"?! Well, really!

Take care,

If you talk about a Freelander and don‘t mean the Range Rover, you might be an X Marker

If you see a rubber chicken and immediately think “GRANT!” , you might be an X Marker

If the image of a whisky glass and Dumfries Scotland are permanently linked in your mind, you might be an X Marker

If instead of Hector you say “When G Man was a pup”, you might be an X Marker

If you have a “knockabout kilt”, you might be an X Marker

If you spend more than 30 minutes a day actively thinking about clothing that you are and will not be wearing that day, you might be an X Marker

When dressing in the morning if you think “WWHD?” , you might be an X Marker

(If you got that last joke, rest assured, YOU ARE AN X MARKER!)

Well, all the foregoing apply to me, with the exception of the last point - that is the last thing I would think at such a critical time!!

Take care,
Ham.

If before leaving the house, you ask your spouse "How are my pleats?", you might be an XMarker.

If you come into some extra money and immediately think "PV or wool?", you might be an XMarker.

Sorry, it was difficult to resist but I'm curious to see if any responses repeat themselves.

When I first began here, I was wondering what the devil a "Tewksbury" was and if it were catching. I figured out quickly what a tank was, but was perplexed at the origin because I thought I knew all the nicks for the kilt.
