Ism #5: That's not a Hat

My first semester of college, I went with a few friends to visit a restaurant downtown. We sat at an outdoor table, where a couple empty water glasses stood next to the chairs. At one point, one of my friends picked up his hat and started wearing it in a goofy fashion. Playing along, another friend picked up a pair of glasses and started wearing them like a hat. Not wanting to feel left out, I tried to find another piece of clothing. Unable to locate one, I decided to settle with the water glass. I turned it upside down, placed it on my head, and immediately realized two things.

1. It wasn't empty.

2. It wasn't a water glass.

That was one scary drive home.
