    Answer to "Why the Kilt?"

    I was thinking recently, that if trousers were really developed for those who ride horseback, that gives rise to a new answer when someone wants to know why you're wearing a kilt.

    Simply answer, "I'm not riding any horses today."

    Another good answer that will surely cause confusion with the "masses".

    that's the best solution. Leave them confused while you make your escape.

    A good and funny answer!

    On our last kilt night some guy asked me why I was wearing a kilt and I simply said..."it's saturday".

    I could see his mind racing to figure that one out. LOL

    OK, I am a bit of a smart aleck but it's humourous and non-offensive. And if they think about it carefully they'll realize that what I'm saying is 'any day can be a kilt day.'

    Two good responses, just like, "The sun is shining."
    "Lads, we're outnumbered, surrounded, and will all likely die tomorrow, but I have good news!"

    "I just found a bunch of whiskey in the castle cellar!"

    Guess that would work for motorcycle horses too.
