the hat
I’m sure everyone knows my blue South Texas hat; the fine companion I wore to school everyday (except for the three days I wore the suit). Over the months it got dirty, sweaty and stinky. After over a year of yeoman’s service, it finally gave up the ghost. It gave me a rash on my forehead, and now I must, with a heavy heart, buy a new hat. I’ll probably still wear it to exams, but you’ll finally get to see me in a different hat in August. The hat is dead, long live the hat.

Sam, just wash it! Stick on the top rack of the dishwasher the next time you run it. It will be as good as new. :)
Put it in the dishwasher? I'm not going to drown the old boy.
Dude, it's a hat...
Be careful the dishwasher detergent you use doesn't contain bleach or a bleaching agent. I turned Randall's navy hat into a purplish-pinkish looking mess. He wasn't too happy with me.
Or, just buy a new hat!
seriously, sam, you should regularly wash whatever hat you wear. and by regularly, i mean at least once a month, if not once a week! you can even wash it by hand, but for the love of god, wash it! this goes for the new hat, too.
I haven't been big on hat washing since I had a black hat (the starting hat from 1997-1999)that came out of the dishwasher a horribly yellow-brown. I won't put another hat through that.
I just need to accept that I have to get a new hat every year or so; I did have one hat last me my first two years of undergrad, but that was just a fluke.
of course, there's always the option of growing up & learning proper grooming habits. ;-)
what do you do when you're at work?
I think I have perfectly fine grooming habits. Humans have survived for a bagillion years without the use of "proper grooming" such as washing one's hat or fixing one's hair.
Furthermore, I take your call to "grow up" as ageism, as you obviously disrespect and belittle me because of my (lack of) age. I'm also not as young as you think; I may look like a 6th grader, but I'm at least as old a high school student.
hey, do you have a hormone disorder like that andy milkonis guy? (i know i'm spelling his name wrong, but i don't care). he looks like he's about 14, but he's really 30 or something like that.
just kidding, sam. and i'm not being ageist. i'm actually being sexist because in my experience, most men act like little boys & need to be reminded of basic hygienic routines such as bathing & teeth brushing...and hat washing.
No WAY that kid is 30...
