The only time I had a hat on backwards was when I was slinging shingles
on a roofing job. Kept the back of my neck from getting charred. Left
a nice sunburned D on my forhead. :/

You're reading *way* too much into it, Joe.

My point was that it was unnecessarily narrow. When you see guys of
other colors, and old guys, with their hats on backwards you can still
bet on something stupid happening (it's arguable whether something
stupid has *already* happened when he put his hat on).

Oh for Chrissakes!
What a crock of ****.
My husband is white, and - well - not a youngin I can assure you.

He wears his hat backwards now and then.
know why?
1) It keeps it from blowing off when the top is off on the Jeep.
2) It keeps it from catching on fire when he's welding.
3) Keeps the brim from banging on his scope.

Ya'll are out of your f-ing minds if you think some is going to do something
stupid simply because they turn their hat around.

ROTFLMAO!

Just how well do you know him?

Kate, we recently watched a bunch with their hats turned of all ages on
ATV's literally say 'here hold my beer' to the folks watching and go out
to play touch football in the shallows of a lake 'on' their ATV's.

The last one still running won.

Oh to have had a video camera....

*** been happily married to him for15 years now. My guess is, pretty well.

** Yea, I know. I agree that the 'hat on backwards' is often a good sign of
stupidity, but geeze...
(scratching my head) ... now that you mention it... they ARE guys.......
Personally, it's the ones that wear their visors (guys in visors to begin
with - ewwwww) upside down and backwards that just make me shake my head and
snikker.
Kind of goes with the pants down at half mast LOL

The last one still running won.

Oh to have had a video camera....

** would have been great to see.

Then let us rephrase: Something stupid is about to happen when someone
wears their cap (not hat) backwards when they're NOT welding or trying
to keep their neck from sunburning (although a hat, not a cap, would be
a better solution in that case, but I'll adit that sometimes all I have
is a cap when I need sun protection). I wouldn't even turn mine around
to keep it from blowing off in my convertible- I wouldn't want to be
mistaken for a damnfool urban punk.

Ok ok... thank you.
Whenever Hubs turns his around in the Jeep, he always laughs and does or
says something silly..
Letting me know that he feels a little goofy.

In the case of my hubby... he is a bald headed guy. If he goes without a
cap, he's burnt.
