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 Jewish

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.

77. As a business venture. Anyone know where I can buy a decent fedora around here?

Nope.

78. As a cover to put over the eye stalk of a Dalek so it can't see.

79. as a way to keep grown people busy: start a forum about it or ask people on a forum to list all its uses

Regards, Geert

Nah. That would never work OR happen.

so, now we HAVE 101, what next? do we publish the 'what your hat is for guide'?

Yes it's a definative work. But we should change the title to "101 reasons why everybody should wear a hat" (IMHO )

I guess it's time to shut the thread down then. We've hit our mark. Just keep posting them here. No need to start a new thread.
