I'll never be able to look at a 10 gallon hat the same ever again

I'm afraid after this week I will always associate them with incompetence.

1. It's all cosplay.

Incompetent men dressed up like tv cowboys pretending to be actual brave men. Or something like that.

Who would ever have thought of a situation where the Border Patrol were the good guys.

2. They've always looked stupid to me.

And take them off when inside at a press conference, it's rude. And stupid.

[Aristus]

10. Yeah, that always makes me roll my eyes.

My mother raised me and my brother to be Southern gentlemen, one of the obligations of which is to always remove your hat indoors, at the table, when speaking with a lady, etc.

Naturally, seeing anyone fail proper hat etiquette makes me want to knock their hats off. But of course, that would get me a bullet in the guts.

3. I've always hated them.

[dchill]

4. Twenty gallons all together.

Two hats are emptier than one!

[Skittles]

5. I've long thought they are buffoonish

juvenile

6. Looks like these are associated with cowardice.

[Irish_Dem]

8. Yes a big cowboy hat is the mark of a coward.

11. When they are afraid of a shooter it is.

7. My Brother was traveling through Oklahoma

He went to the restroom and on the instruction sticker on the toilet seat protector dispenser, the word "seat protector" had been crossed out and "cowboy hat" had been written.

9. Yep.

12. If one doesn't have any cattle all that is left is the hat.
