Really? You would have had the gumption to walk up to him and ask "Exactly how many of these kilt outfits do you own?

Oh I found out that the dagger is called a DIRK.

And he wore these long long white socks and the dagger was around the top of the sock (which are called hose).

See, I'm now learning about kilts and dirks!!

lol

Oh, here's a funny story about a scottish lady I knew once. Her name was Mary, she was about 60 and I loved her. I was abou 20.

She worked in my department and one day she was enthralling us with stories about her first visit to our country before she moved here.

It seemed she stayed in nice hotel and each night she would approach the desk clerk and told him to "PLEASE KNOCK ME UP IN THE MORNING."

She said the guy would look at her and say "I beg your pardon".

Well, we laughed our heads off. She finally found out that in OUR country, PLEASE KNOCK ME UP IN THE MORNING, means something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than it means in Scotland.

lol lol lol
