I used to do "camera shows" (my other favorite hobby). My trademark was a burgundy hat (fur felt, made in Italy. I had shaped it to look llike a Homburg, although it was actually a fedora.) I wore it for about twelve years. People were always complimenting it. Some even tried to buy it. But once, some guy said, " I remember you from last year, and I remember your GOOFY HAT, too! (No, it wasn't the one I'm wearing in my avatar.) He must have seen a hurt expression on my face, because he quickly added, "Or maybe you don't think it's goofy looking." He then moved on, in a big hurry. My consolation is that POSITIVE COMMENTS have always out-numbered the negatives.
