Mandolin Cafe Ball Cap saves my life!!

[Ken Olmstead]

On my recent tour of the Baltic cities, this scary fellow in the very medieval city of Tallinn, Estonia (former USSR) pegged me as being from "out of town" despite my substantial efforts to try and "blend in." Just before my head was separated from my torso, he noticed my hat and decided that I was worth saving! I thanked him profusely, paid him 5 Euros and drank the first Honey Stout beer I could find!!!

Moral? Wear your Cafe hat while traveling, it separates you from the "herd!"

Wow thanks for the tip Ken -- I'd better get one I'm driving up to Dayton on Wednesday!

Hmmm, perhaps one should a Balalaika Café hat to wear to such places.

Glad to hear you got out with your head intact!

And today my black MC hat saved my life! I was digging out something in the back of one my garages where it was dark and I ran into a huge amount of spider webs. They all clung to my hat, thereby saving me from likely deadly black widow spider bites to my head. Thanks MandolinCafe!

I may have had to burn the hat....I hate spiders....

[Denny Gies]

Two saves in July already. I had no idea these things has such magical powers.........wow.

These must be made by the Susquehanna Hat Co. on Bagel St.

Ken, I thought you sword you'd stop sending out chain mail.

Two puns in one reply! That's gotta be a record.

So I've heard. Anything that keeps you from getting separated from your head is a good thing.

While my hat may not have truly saved my life (yet), it has saved me from injury, several times, particularly coming between me and low overhanging branches while biking merrily along. Well, perhaps the way it dissuades banjo pickers and their fans from bothering me - I believe trying to read a word with so many syllables confuses them - has indeed saved my life, or at the least my enjoyment thereof.
