Re: 101 Uses for a hat
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 , 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 JewishMichaelson wrote:11. Used to confuse folks, who walk up to you and ask you if you're Amish. (true story!)

Re: 101 Uses for a hat
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.Ranger36 wrote:What thats in-joke mean?
