I have a “baseball cap” style hat that I bought about 8 years ago and have rarely worn since.
It is in the style of all the navy veteran military ship caps commonly in use today in the USA, and I believe it was even made by the same company that makes hats for crew and military veterans.
Here’s the thing though – this is a cap for the USS Constellation – a FULL RIG SAILING SHIP in use from 1797-1853 (see https://historicships.org/explore/uss-constellation ). I bought it from a tourist display stand!
I am walking around Disney world this week and I keep getting “THANKED FOR MY SERVICE”. Okay – kind of amusing as I would have had to serve in the REVOLUTIONARY WAR – but then I do nothing to purposefully pose as ex-military (which is very uncool). CAN PEOPLE NOT SEE THE SAILS ON THE BOAT?
My brother thinks I should make light of it (“yes, I served – I climbed the rigging and packed the gun powder… you should have seen those Brits run! Avast ye mates! Walk the plank!”)
I’m thinking of finding another cap to keep my bald head from sunburning… What do you think?

It’s the biggest low income jobs program in the world (socialism). Ive got a cousin who did 4 years cuz he wanted out of his parents house and couldn’t find a job. Now his back hurts cuz he’s obese and he’s on partial disability with free healthcare from the military for the rest of his life.
socialism is when the government pays for stuff
Not really, at all. But hey, I only have a master’s in econ. I definitely don’t understand socialism.
