Oooooh dear ...

Apparently, an American school principal told a lad to go home and change because his kilt could be misconstrued as crossdressing.

A local news source on the story includes this helpful line:
Kilts are traditional Scottish apparel, generally worn by men, often for formal or special occasions.
and some interesting comments.

But this source has the best picture editor ...

Dear bubba, that last link could stand as a birthday present to you! Have a very happy one, eynhashofet , you deserve it!

And silenceofcedars , I hope that the cake and good wishes fairy has rolled up to your house a little pleasantly tipsy and settled in for the duration.

See, it wasn't actually the fauna, since that's a huge attraction with all the fresh fruit and colourful plants and deserts and cliffs, but now that you mention it, having to wave a stick to get from door to street at night in case they wove across the path, and check teh footmat, and always have them in the shower, argh. Argh. Guh. I don't mind snakes. Pity one can't swim anywhere in the wild without being crippled by jellyfish (well, or sharks or crocodiles). And the flies! Oh yes, I didn't dislike the fauna until you mentioned it now ;P

Yeahhh, I know. I do have three pages of swear words, collected in one evening, and the only one I ever remember is catflap.
