I was accused of being a Nazi beacuse I knew what a swasticka was....
"Step right up ladies and gentlemen, step right up. Now what I'm about to show you is something that is somewhat rare to find around here. Behold: A person who has no sense of logic."
That's like someone calling you a professional chef after you tell them you only know how to make a bowl of cereal.
And the Buddhist symbol and swasticka are similar to each other. However, the swasticka is tilted like a diamond (Buddhist: square) and then flipped vertically. (I'm 95% sure)
Anyway, on a more positive note...
Speaking of going to events or places in some kind of costume, I remember during senior prom someone went DRESSED IN THEIR PAJAMAS! The interesting thing was the pajamas looked incredibly like a traditional black chinese-style pants and vest. I didn't know they were pajamas until the guy told me.
