Men are not wearing enough hats!

The Meaning of Life ^

CHAIRMAN:

...Which brings us once again to the urgent realization of just how much there is still left to own. Item six on the agenda: the meaning of life. Now, uh, Harry, you've had some thoughts on this.

HARRY:

That's right. Yeah, I've had a team working on this over the past few weeks, and, uh, what we've come up with can be reduced to two fundamental concepts. One: people are not wearing enough hats. Two: matter is energy. In the universe, there are many energy fields which we cannot normally perceive. Some energies have a spiritual source which act upon a person's soul. However, this soul does not exist ab initio, as orthodox Christianity teaches. It has to be brought into existence by a process of guided self-observation. However, this is rarely achieved, owing to man's unique ability to be distracted from spiritual matters by everyday trivia.

BERT:

What was that about hats, again?

HARRY:

Oh, uh, people aren't wearing enough.

CHAIRMAN:

Is this true?

EDMUND:

Certainly. Hat sales have increased, but not pari passu, as our research initially--

BERT:

But when you say 'enough', enough for what purpose?

GUNTHER:

Can I just ask, with reference to your second point, when you say souls don't develop because people become distracted,...

[rumble]

...has anyone noticed that building there before?

You know, now that I think of it, the title of this thread should be "Not Enough Men are Wearing Hats".

[JenB]

Hmm, we sure do!

Wonder if we should call you a troll for resurrecting an ancient thread.

[HairOfTheDog]

ou know, now that I think of it, the title of this thread should be "Not Enough Men are Wearing Hats".

Tell it to Monty Python!

[HairOfTheDog]

Here is a troll hat!

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

I foresee some excellent photoshopping opportunities for that hat.

[HairOfTheDog]

Yes, I can see that too!

[RightWhale]

You can't find a hat in this town. Just baseball caps.

[Pete'sWife]

Men can only wear one hat at a time.

Don't you mean "More men should wear hats?"

[HairOfTheDog]

Yes, I think that would be more accurate.... however I am only parroting an assertion originally made by Monty Python ;~D

"Hobbit Hole dwellers are known to wear hats:"

And then there are those of us who name ourselves after hats :)
