Gosh. I was almost certain that only fatties and cops ate donuts! Oh well. There was a bit of tongue in cheek in my comments, don't get riled up. Personally I detest baseball caps, except of course, when ball players wear them. And yes, I guess one could go overboard on striving to be an individual, to the point that he becomes a caricature of himself. Butchered that word for sure! I never followed the fads of fashion, I wear what I like, and it is seldom in style. And really, I don't fault other folks for "dressing stylishly". To each his own. But I don't follow the herd, never did, never will. So go on and wear those baseball caps, and I'll keep on wearing my hats. Who knows? One day they will be back in style, and you can wear them too. Just kidding. Kind Regards, Fedora
