Washing hats

Maddy was looking at some dingus on ebay that you put your ball cap into and throw into the dishwasher in order to clean the hat. Shipping was three times the cost and I decided I didn't really need one. So then the conversation turned to what to do with all the dirty caps I have.

I told Maddy I'd gladly throw away all the other caps as long as the one I'm now wearing could be duplicated. She asked why I like it so much. It's a grey cap that says "St. Jude 1962". She got it after donating to St. Jude's Children's Hospital.

I get a lot of comments on the hat (which I wear to work), all of them from people who say very nice things about St. Jude's. I keep wearing it mostly for the comfort. It's simply the most comfortable cap I've ever worn.

In addition, I realized that the cap is good because it sit's lightly on my head. It's a guilt-free hat! Since it came from St. Jude's, as a result of a donation to help children, I figure this hat must have plenty of virtue in it. And whether you're conservative or liberal, having at least one article of clothing that is 100% guaranteed guilt-free is a blessing.

So, if you need a cap and want one that everyone will see as a cap of virtue, one that will ride easily and keep your bald spot from getting cold... donate to St. Jude's and ask them for a cap.
