Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 3,554 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 That looks like a hard sell, GG. Especially that part about removing your hat when the National Anthem plays and when the flag goes by. Also when eating, you see so many baseball caps on the heads of non baseball players at McDonalds. Link to post Share on other sites
Apache Hawk 60642 0 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 My Dad said this about hat wearing. Always take yur hat off when entering a home. Always tipp yur hat to ladys when out side. If the "lady" chooses to look like a "man", do nothing. Always cover you're heart when our song is played. Leave hat on if outside. Always take hat off when entering a hospital. Always take hat off when eatting. And always put hat back on or leave on if you do not feel welcomed. Link to post Share on other sites

Apache Hawk 60642 0 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Your father was wise in the ways of manners, Hawk. My Father practiced what he preached. He demanded respect from all he met and in return, he gave respect in return. If you did not respect him, then when yur in trouble, he would be the first one there with a gallon of gas and a match ! But, most of all, he was a "Man's man !" To him , all things was black and white......thus his manners ! Link to post Share on other sites

Bama Red 0 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Being a Veteran, when the National Anthem is played or the flag passes by, I stand and render a hand salute. Just seems very natural to me after my time in the services. Link to post Share on other sites

Deacon Will 4 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I hate it when I go into a Restaurant and there are NO provisions to hang my hat. Usta be every restaurant had a hook or peg... pretty rare today. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tennessee Stud, SASS# 43634 Life Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Never lay yore hat down on a bed... bad luck. ts Link to post Share on other sites
Bama Red 0 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 You're right. Deacon. Its gotten to where I just wear my hat in a restaurant nowadays, unless there's an empty chair to lay it on. Not my personal choice, but I'm not gonna let my fancy Brims and Trims hats get damaged because the restaurant is too stupid to realize they need hatracks or too cheap to spend the money on them.
