Today I was at a funeral in an offical capacity, so had dutifully "clericalled up."  Someone I know vaguely from another context was there, and in the after service chit chat said, 'oh, are you a minister then?'  The answer was, I'd suggest, just a teeny weeny bit obvious - I mean, would anyone in their right mind wear a dog collar for fun?  Someone from church who was there said I should have said, "no I just like wearing fancy dress..."  Hmm.  Sometimes I despair!
