Fedoras vs. Atomic Bombs

Now we know why, after 1945, fedoras were made with such wide brims.

And after the Cuban Missile Crisis was averted, brims became increasingly narrow. I guess folks relaxed a bit.

Ah, I get it now. The sombrero was invented during the Cuban crisis, to protect the population. It was a sort of quick civil defense system.

That's a good answer if somebody asks why you're wearing a hat: "As protection against atomic bombs".

And just look at them as though they were from another planet when saying it. :)
