Tales of Teh St00pid

I was standing in line at a HEB to pay my SBC phone bill. Ahead of me was a man and his wife/girlfriend. From behind, it looked like he was wearing a baseball hat and it was twisted off-center. All I could see was the "back" of the hat and some team logo.

When they were called up next to the counter, I got a chance to see him from the side and the front. He wasn't wearing a baseball hat backwards or sideways or what have you...there wasn't a brim on the hat at all. The man was essentially wearing a baseball beanie.

I'd like to go back to the HEB and review their security camera footage of me in line. I'm sure my facial expression when I realized this is worth preserving. I've never heard of a brimless baseball cap, nor ever expected to see one. I mean, how are your friends supposed to run up and knock the hat off your head? Do you wear sunglasses when it gets bright outside? Is this some secret International Jewish Conspiracy to slowly deprive us of our shading headgear by eroding our All-American Traditions???

Or is this hat idea just stOOpid? I wonder how much the guy paid for it. If I saw them priced the same as normal hats, I'd be kinda miffed.

The sad thing is that he probably ended up paying MORE for that hat than he would have for a regular baseball cap.

a hat without a lid could be a new fad

I just took the brim off one of my favorite baseball caps because I love how it fits when it's on backwards and I don't like wearing a brim indoors. I LOVE IT! I found this site while search for some to purchase. Apparently, I'm not the only jew with the idea.

Question: What is the HEB and what does this idea have to do with being jewish?
