No, those hats are called bowlers.
Which might remind you of another story!

Of course it does.

There are two things that everyone must pack for a cruise.

1. A hockey stick.

2. A bowling ball.

The hockey stick caused my incarceration in the cruise ship brig (with Beppo The Drunk Magician....I wish he would have made himself disappear. He damn sure could make vodka disappear).

The bowling ball can be used to barter with the natives you meet on the islands.

We stopped at a quaint island called England, and I traded a bowling ball to those yokels for this big clock called Large Benjamin or something.

Amazingly, those natives could almost speak American.

They call French fries chips. They have lots of quaint ways like that.

I asked to see their king. They said they have a Queen. I asked if they had a witch doctor and they said they have Doctor Who.

This led to a twenty minute take of the old Abbot and Costello routine except this time it was a phone booth instead of baseball bases.

“Who is in the phone booth?”

“Exactly.”

I was kind of surprised they had phone booths. I know they use drums to communicate because they have some kind of drum royalty named Ringo.
