rjschroed ::: Favorites Actually, it was totally legal for Wottle to wear that hat, and he always did. It wasn't until sometime after this that you were no longer allowed to wear hats and such. He did, however, forget to remove his hat on the podium and had a lot of explaining and apologizing to do afterwards. 07-02-16 20:08:20 _____________________________________________________
