People Will Talk

Chicago's 2006 Pride Parade. I'm standing behind two young gay men, waiting to be let into the theater to work. A man in a kilt passes by.

The one fellow says to the other: "You don't wear anything under a kilt. No. That's the traditional Irish way. Oh, if I wore a kilt... what if I dropped my coconut?"

Woman approaches theater doors. Tugs on one. Door is locked. Tugs on another. Door is locked. Reads the sign listing hours. Pulls out cell phone, calls someone. "They don't open for half an hour." Hangs up. Tugs on same two doors again. Hm. Still locked.

Isn't a kilt Scottish in origin? I thought the Irish just wore Irish Spring on a rope...(for long lastin' deordorant protection)!
