Seriously, if anyone makes fun of my kilt, I drop my caber on
them.  (Makes for a quieter life.


Seriously, I don't think that Scottish customs are the point,
now.  This conversation has diverged so far from the original
that it's pointless.


A question:

	I have a bad neck.  As a result, it's bigger around than
normal, and sensitive to pressure.  Why do I HAVE to wear
a necktie on "formal occasions"?  Frankly, I like to breathe, and
to be able to look 90 degrees to either side of where I'm standing
without pain.  


A comment:
	Everybody suffers from the stupid, ignorant, foolish,
anal-retentive rules of femine dress, including men.
	Likewise, everyone suffers because all those men
are damnably uncomfortable and feel stupid wearing nooses.

	I won't claim that you like it, please don't claim
that I like it.  'Nuff said?
