But then, in the 35th century, when they will ask on rap central : "what was the way of wearing a baseball cap", what will they answer ??!! That's actually a brilliant analogy, Virani! Ball caps were meant to do one thing and were worn accordingly, and as they moved from one group to the next (from Southern Marquesans to the Northern, ball players to, uh, playahs), they were worn differently. And accounts exist of both hats' being worn both ways by each group. Anybody ever read the treatise on the Nakerima of North America :wink: ? Formikashnizzle
