I'll never forget her parting words. She yelled: "You, your hat, and your dog...get out of here!" I just love that. They can put it on my tombstone.

Now that's a country song if I ever heard one!
Wow! I love that!You, your hat, and your dog...get out of here!"

Now as to obtuse connectionsof their hat comments, well the average person is not mmuch more than average intellegence. They are rarely better than mediocre in most instances, when their poor education and faulty logic kicks in, who knows what connection or connotation their are going to try to make!

Maj.Nick Danger said:While wearing one of my favorite nose art A2 jackets one fine evening, a fellow accosted me as to it's meaning. He asked, "What does that mean? Hard to Get,....is the girl on the jacket hard to get,....or are you hard to get???? Or what???"
Most people it seems dare not say a word about any of my jackets as they are somewhat shy perhaps? Usually, if I get any comment at all, it's a favorable one, and I explain all and hand them my business card.
But this guy seemed to be showing off to the woman he was with. He was an older guy so we were surprised that he did not know what nose art is, so my friend that's with me proceeds to explain.
He waved the explanation aside and reiterated his questions.
So I told him it means,..."Difficult to comprehend." lol
