EXCUSE ME! WHEN DID I EVER SAY THAT THE SCOTS WERE PERVERTS? IN THEIR 
DISTINCT CULTURE AND HERITAGE (OF WHICH SOME OF MY ANCESTORS COME FROM!)
IT IS THEIR WAY FOR MEN TO WEAR KILTS AND WOMEN TO WEAR PANTS! THAT IS NOT
THE WAY IT IS HERE HOWEVER WHERE THE SOCIAL AND MORAL IMPLICATIONS ARE 
MUCH MORE DETAILED. IN OUR CULTURE, MEN DON'T WEAR DRESSES WHEN OF SANE 
MIND AND PEACE WITH GOD. WE'LL SEE WHOSE MORALS STAND UP TO JUDGEMENT
BY GOD (WHICH BY THE WAY, I DO HOPE YOU CAN PASS-SINCERELY-BUT I WOULD 
LOOK OVER YOUR MORALS IF YOU HOPE TO DO SO, TOO) GOD WILL LET US KNOW 
ABOUT THIS ONE IN THE AFTER-LIFE- 'NUFF SAID
