Not sure if this is the right place to inquire...but how much harm can it really do to try. Does anyone know the origin of the "Fez Monkey" icon? I have searched and searched and can't really find anything. Also, how did a hat of Greek origin become an element of tiki culture? the only thing I can figure is that according to wikipedia the Fez is a symbol of relaxation. Is there anything more to it than that?
