'The Question' - My first time

[hospitaller]

Well,

it was bound to happen, so it did.

This morning I was tasked by my wife to do the weekend errands, including a run to the bank, then the movie rental store, some groceries and then I decided to go to Kohl's to get myself a safary shirt.

Lots of looks and eye contact all morning but no comments until I arrived at Kohl's.

Once there I started walking the aisles and there was this pair of women and as soon as I entered the aisle where they were, they kept on staring, if not obviously...blatantly.

So when I got right next to them, and as the staring continued, I asked one of them if I could help them with something. That put an immediate stop to the staring, so I continued browsing and thenmoved on to the shirts section.

I picked up the shirt I wanted and went to the fitting room where this woman stopped me and asked me 'the question', rather straightforwardly compared to what I've read here before.

'So, are you wearing any underwear under your kilt?'

I stopped, turned around and while keeping intense eye contact I told her that I wasnt supposed to answer her, but rather she was supposed to check herself.

She looked down at the sporran for a second (I thought she would actually do it), then back to eye contact, then smiled and fared me a 'nice try' as she kept walking.

I have to go clothes shopping kilted more often...

Most women I've had ask me "the question" have been dumbfounded when you turn the tables on them and dare them to find out. Having said that, I reckon the ratio of asking to actually going on to check has been about 1:10, not including the ones who just check without asking!

Ah well, I'm glad it brightened up your day!

Cheers

Haha! Wonderful reversal. I give this one a 10/10.

This was my preferred response also until I actually had a young lass check...


My girlfriend was none too pleased to say the least, lol.

I had the "question" this morning at Membury Services on the M4 on my way to the Harpenden Highland Gathering.

It was early morning and I needed coffee and breakfast so I opted for a smile and "that's for me to know and you to find out!"

Originality of response can be difficult when you got up at 4am!

Congrats! Your now an official kiltie!!

Although there are so many fun responses, I sometimes just like to turn the tables on them, and ask how they would react if I asked them the same question. That or just yell "I need an adult, I need an adult!"
