Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for April 16, 2017

Or outdoors for me.

They can’t all be knee slappers, or in this case even anywhere close to the land of Not Even Mildly Amusing.

So convert to Judaism, start with a yarmulke, and work your way up.

You might if you were a player and slightly balding! :o)

Jimmy: Great one!

Arlo has proven that he can’t be either a reg’lar guy or a redneck, no matter how hard he tries.

Of course, he also has to turn in his man card.

the only reason I do is for the warmth factor since I no longer have natural covering

Agreed, Arlo! I also cannot wear a hat indoors, either.

I believe it’s called ‘common courtesy’.

A gentleman should never wear a hat indoors. Or backwards. (I suppose that shows my age)

Nothing says “no class” like a cap worn indoors. Yarmulkes and doo-rags don’t count. If you wear a cap or hat indoors, you simply have a lot of crass.

It took me some time after I retired from military service to drop the habit of removing my hat when I walked indoors but I DO remove my hat when I sit down to eat. I’m usually the only person I see in a restaurant that takes his (or her) hat off when sitting down to eat. And it has nothing to do with age… I see plenty of older folks, who should know better, that never remove their hats, including my father. It’s annoying to me but you can’t teach good manners to those who won’t learn.

….and then there is the matter of cell phone use, another stellar example of bad manners running rampant in any and all public settings.

Removing one’s “cover” (military jargon for hat) is MANDATORY when inside in military uniform – or in certain outdoor social functions. In either venue, if a large group was gathering a table was provided for them. And wearing a hat backwards is acceptable for a baseball catcher, but is not to be recommended elsewhere.

I wear hats on occasion but not indoors, bad manners. When we have a community dinner at the Salvation Army we have to request men remove their hats for meal time prayer or many of them wouldn’t remove them even then. Not to remove them then would be VERY bad manners, and disrespect to go with it.

when did baseball caps become the “in thing” for boys, men…..growing up boys or men only wore them when playing baseball. Ok wear them outside, fishing etc, but damn, take them off when you come in the house or a restaurant. I come from the era where women always wore a hat when they went out to eat or to church, men wore them, but took them off when they walked into church or at the door of a restaurant, somewhere down the line generations did not teach their children manners, that being one of them among many. Our country has to many generations of spoiled brats, who don’t have respect for others. Cell phones UGH I love mine, I use it, but when I go in a restaurant or to an event, the phone gets shut off. I can’t stand people glued to their phones when I’m trying to eat dinner out

Only time i wear one, is in lieu of an umbrella.
