Today, upon walking into a camping/hiking store wearing my new Akubra Hemp Range:

The clerk says, "It's hot as hell out there. What on Earth are you doing wearing a hat on a day like today?"

I respond, "Silly me. And I'm wearing underwear, too. Would you like to see?"

That shut him up.

This morning, I'm walking to the train station in black Reeboks, black shorts (below-knee length, I'm no barbarian!), short-sleeved gray shirt with printed dice... and a white Panama, Fedora style. It is summer, warm and sunny.

I cross paths with a young couple. The girl giggles, maybe there was a whispered comment before that. The guy says to me:

"Wazzup, Mexico?"

Partial credit for getting the continent right, but...

I had a train to catch, so I declined to educate him on Panama, Ecuador and the look of a sombrero charro.

'Hey, careful, man, your insecurity is sticking out.'

Mexico and Ecuador are not on the same continent. Ecuador is in South America. Mexico is in North America. ;)

This morning, wearing a black fedora with a 2 1/2 inch brim, I got the cowboy comment from an old man passing on a bus. He felt it necessary to lean out the window and shout 'Cowboy' at me.

Made me thing of the saying, "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt."

He was an old Thai man, so 'Cowboy' could have been one of the three English words he knew and I'm sure 'Old' and 'Man' were not the other two. He seemed so proud at being able to say an English word to a Caucasian all I could do was smile at him.

Had the following little exchange with some gentlemen (in the broadest sense of the word) in their 40s outside my favourite cheese and wine merchant. Not the first time I've used this response but I think the first time I've posted it here. I guess all they saw was the tweed overcoat, cap and brogues:

Man: "Hey, its not the 1940 anymore mate" (his two friends laugh)
LB: "What?"
Man: "You shouldn't be wearing that shit, its not the 1940s" (more laughter)
LB: "I say, isn't it?"
Man: "Err, no"
LB: "What year is it then?"
Man: "Twentyten"
LB: "Great Scott, everyone I ever loved is dead!"
Men: Awkward silence.
LB: "Oh well, can't be helped. Good day, gentleman" (Doffs cap and continues into the store.

It was 7c, 45f out at the time, and the men were wearing shorts and complaining about the cold, to give you some idea of the type.
