Bearded hat

Isn’t it great when something suddenly just makes you laugh out loud?

I get an image of an insecure, smooth-shaven fellow who wants to blend into a haredi crowd.

More seriously, this hat also reminds me of the scandal in Israel following the first Gulf War, when it was revealed that the gas masks that had been distributed and worn throughout did not actually provide protection for men with beards. (Translation: did not provide protection for the majority of religious men, Jewish and Moslem. Also for clergy of the Armenian Orthodox church.) It doesn’t help build bridges when the ruling clique acts as though certain segments of society don’t matter very much.
