His wife probably uses them to stop him from going to the next hamfest.

Hasn't worked, apparently.

Saw one like that at a garage sale last weekend and thought to myself, "self, that's not the boat anchor you're looking for."

Glad you found a pope approved pair for your next adventure

They came with the boat, but they now have the Papal Seal of Approval.

Greek fisherman's hat, for some reason strongly associated in the US with gay men.

Oh, oops. Should've put my glasses on first. Sure 'nuff, that's what it is.

Well, I was kinda being a smartass, but WTF? Fishing for gay Greek men?

Who gnu?

Rio Vista?

No, didn't buy that one—the survey found some troubling things. I ended up buying one right here, on Shelter Island.

OK. I was not aware that it was associated, strongly or otherwise, with gay men. I grew up around a lot of Greeks (in South Carolina no less) and they held strongly to their roots. Fishing and cooking is a huge part of their culture (so is yelling) but I've never associated their head-wear with homosexuality.
Are things that much different out West?

This hat on the other hand ... is the hat I associate as being favored by gay men since The Village People.

Sorry for any misunderstanding, Old Man. Now get off my dock. Dock, because you don't have a lawn.
