Interesting Morning Exchange

[cdarwin]

As I was exiting the parking garage on my way to the office this morning, a younger gentleman was entering. Here is the exchange we had.

Him: Hey, is that a kilt?!
Me: Indeed!
Him: Is that for some club?
Me: Perhaps, if there were a club for comfortable men.
Him: Are you wearing underwear?
Me: Ask your girlfriend.

He really got a kick out of my responses. We both chuckled and went our separate ways.

It may be relevant to note that I work at a University and I've been told that I look young for my age. This may help explain the 'club' inquiry.

Wow. I'm glad he had a sense of humor about it.

Wow. I'm glad he had a sense of humor about it.

Body language is quite difficult to convey through text. It was fairly obvious in my delivery that I was not being confrontational. The gentleman took my response as it was intended, which was to be a clever noncommittal response to an inappropriate question. Admittedly, my response is not unique nor my own. It is one that I have come across on these forums before.

Great response. Of course, readings your audience is key to proper delivery. My wife just told me she is thinking of getting me a T-shirt for father's day that says "the only thing worn under my kilt is lipstick". I chuckled a bit. It reminded me of this thread (and a couple others), but I'll have to get a picture of us with me in that and her wearing her "official kilt inspector" t-shirt.

ST, that would be an hillarious T-shirt! I have been playing with a design that includes my avatar and the phrase "Are your hands cold?" My SO loves the idea and we'll definitely get pics up once everything is finalized.

For Christmas & Annversary, I got my wife a shirt that states:

I wear the pants in this relationship.

Thank you, USA Kilts.
