    “Kilts, because they don’t make three legged pants.”

    For real though, I gave up pants years ago and I will never go back. I highly recommend giving it a try.

    Maybe if they’d hidden some malaria pills up there the Darien Project wouldn’t have bankrupted them so badly they had to sign the Act of Union with my lot.

    Pretty sure that the kilt was invented by an Englishman so that scots working in his factories would be less likely to get clothing caught in the machinery and maimed. I say this as a kilt-loving descendent of scots.

    EDIT: To be clear, I was referring to a Small Kilt, whose intention is attributed to an English mill owner named Rallinson circa 1720. Not the Great Kilt, which to my knowledge is Scottish in origin.

    based on genital structure, women can pee a lot easier when wearing a dress, men can pee easier just unzipping the front of their pants….
    this post is stupid.

      Scottish kilts have been around since the 1500’s.

      The zipper was patented in the 1800’s.

          If the ease of peeing determines the usefulness of a garment, then in a world without zippers, kilts are clearly the superior genitalia obscuring clothing item. For 200 years the Scots were enjoying free and easy urination while the rest of the British Isles were having to unlace their codpieces like fools.

      And yet there is zero chance of an unfortunate zipper accident when wearing a kilt/skirt. Pant zippers are the leading cause of penile injury.
