He Looks a Bit Green
On the evening after the town's St. Patrick's Day parade, police in Racine, Wisc., were dispatched to a report of a man breaking in to a store downtown. He kicked in the window, a witness reported.
When officers arrived, there was indeed a man inside the store, but he wasn't looting the place: the man, who was wearing a kilt, was asleep on the floor.
An officer woke him up with a shout, and ordered him to show his hands. He did -- or at least a finger or two: "He then flipped me off and just laid there," said Officer Ryan Comstock.
Dustin Nelson, 24, of Plymouth, Minn., was "very intoxicated," Comstock said, and "broke into store to take a nap." Nelson was arrested and charged with damage to property.
And no, we definitely don't want to see what he was wearing under his kilt.

Patricia, there were some English who emigrated to Ireland for their health. They tended to suffer a certain throat ailment from having their heads severed from the rest of their bodies. (Wrong church, wrong political party. You get the picture.) Our family was among those. As for the kilt wearing, well most people enjoying St. Patrick's Day are pretenders to an extent. My Korean born wife likes to wear a "Kiss me I'm Irish" shirt on St. Patrick's Day. Just makes for a bigger party. Then again, he may have had some Scottish ancestry.
Too bad this guy didn't have any friends to make sure he found a safe place to sleep off his overindulgence.
And Randy, thanks for not showing what he wears beneath his kilt. The mental vision is bad enough.

Having worn a kilt for a few years (got married in it), I must say there is a bit of a double standard - I have had women do to me things that would get me punched to arrested - crawling under tables, groping, etc. Only one seriously took up the kindergarten standard - I show mine if you show yours. Fortunately, I was also single at these times - I married a Marine - she gets first dibs :^)
This guy did not show much wisdom to start with - I agree that it was good he didn't drive. Must have been *cold*. I can tell you kilts are not good cold weather garb (although utilikilts.com were the field "dress" for a sedimentology crew while at sea - based out of Seattle).
Also - there are two common responses to the question:
1. "It be not worn, it be in perfect working order."
2. "It be well used but not worn."
