I like how NPR only has pictures of socialist rallies from which to pull their example photos.

Oznog: Hey some of us have thin, uninteresting hair we can't do anything useful with. You can shave it all off, that's it. Or explore the wide, interesting world of hats.

Well there is another option...

Box o Tissues

/used to carry one
//if I needed it (cold or allergies), it got disgusting real quickly
///if I didn't need it, it just took up space in my pocket

Yeah, I used to carry one too. A habit I picked up from my granddad. I kept cutting my nose on the dried up snot shards so I eventually stopped using it.

But I am the son of a hat designer. And my father, Allen S. Krulwich, had a different explanation. The president who de-hatted America, he thought, was Dwight Eisenhower.

My father was a barber. He always hated the Beatles for ruining his profits. Fortunately in the 80s the mullet repaired his business model. The mullet bought me shoes. All hail the mullet.

As a middle-aged man with a sun roof in his haircut, I like to joke that I'm a founding member of the "hat club for men". I probably have 30 hats, and that's not counting either caps or toques (both of which breed and multiply on their own).

How YOU doin'?
