70: to reveal your bald spot as a sign to the whippersnappers that you are experienced, wise and should be harkened to

Regards! Michaelson
I had this happen to me at a Walmart, a guy in his 40s came up to me and asked me if i was Hebrew :shock: , not Amish, but that's what he was getting at. He wasn't rude, just politely asked and i said no, i'm just a hat wearer, he went about his business and so did i. But i will never forget it. By the way i come from WASP parents, i don't even look Jewish :lol:

And 74.) to hide concert tickets in so they don't get went when a monsterous thnderstorm rolls over your head. (it kept my head dry too! :TOH: )

In a nutshell, at a previous Finger Lakes summit, several folks went out to Pizza Hut one evening. Chewie had his hat underneath his chair, resting on the crown. At one point there was a spill of Diet Pepsi which rolled off the table and into his hat. He hasn't quite been able to live it down since. :[
