Anyway, there I was about 18 or so and I got in the elevator and this guy comes in. I wish I had a camera. He said "I wish you could see the expression on your face". I didn't know to laugh, to smile, WHAT to do??

I just said "What are you?" He laughed his head off and said "I'm from the clan , Mac, something or other"

I just stared at him. He had a skirt on. Or what I thought was a skirt. I later found out it was a kilt. I went to my floor and said to one of my co-workers. "that guy is wearing a skirt??" She laughed her head off and she said to everybody "Hey, Melody met the Scot"

I will never forget what he wore. And he had a dagger in his calf (at least I think it was on his calf) Some kind of holder. But he had a knife, that much I know for sure.

And this thing that hung from the front of his kilt. It would flop every time he marched somewhere. And he marched. He didn't walk. He marched.

And he sounded like Sean Connery.

I often would say to myself "Why is this man wearing those clothes?, this is not a Scottish company, It was an Indian company, actually.

But every day he came to work wearing the kilt. And I never knew if he had more than one, or he wore he same one, WHO KNEW!!!

lol
