Offbeat: Scots upset that they have to wear undies under their kilts

  • A man’s a man. A Highlander doesn’t need underwear. … If we did wear underwear, it would be made of, like, twigs.
  • Washington, D.C. resident William Oscar Fleming • Expressing anger at a recent decision made by the Scottish Tartans Authority to change the underwear standards of its kilt-wearers. SImply put, now Scots looking to prove they’re real men have to wear undies, to the benefit of absolutely everyone who isn’t Scottish (and lots of people who are). Next step for them: Learning to stop playing dress-up, like they were at this weekend’s Scottish Christmas Walk and Parade in Alexandria, Va. source
