When I was growing up in the 50's and 60's, men still wore hats. Nowadays, not so much, except on special occasions. There are lots of different kinds of hats. There's the bowler* ...
The boater ...
And the beer hat ...
But there's also a fairly new sort of headgear that has gained great popularity, particularly in Congress and the echo chambers of the extreme media ... the asshat***.
Have a good day. Wear normal hats. More thoughts tomorrow.

* You may remember the evil henchman Oddjob in the James Bond film "Goldfinger," whose weapon of choice was a bowler with a razor-sharp brim that he threw like a frisbee.
** Yes, I own one. It's way cool.
*** The Urban Dictionary defines an asshat as, "One whose head is so far up their rear end it could pass for a hat; used to describe a person who is stubborn, cruel, or otherwise unpleasant to be around."

Guys should go back to wearing boaters. Bilbo, you must look really cool in the picklehaube; it would definitely stand out at the mall!
Other than the universal baseball hat, hats are pretty passé. I wonder why?
At least you won't ever see me in a pillbox hat!
We have too many asshats nowadays. A poor choice of hats. Unless they also wear the picklehaube at the same time.
I could go for a man wearing a boater. They look so stylish, so retro, like Gene Kelly in Dancing in the Rain.
I dare you to wear your pickelhaube to the mall. How long do think it would take you to get shot by a cop saying you had a dangerous weapon?
A top hat would fit in very well in sophisticated Florence, Alabama,
