Ever wondered if anyone really pays any attention to your cap? Why are you wearing it? Is it just something to cover a bad hair day? Is it just an accessory? Is it meaningful to you? Maybe you should just wear one as a conversation piece.
Today I went to Wal-Mart wearing one of my Red Sox caps (the red one with the socks on it). A man in the store stopped me and asked, "Where did you get your cap?" This started a long conversation about Boston and about my trip to Fenway Park. He said he had been a Red Sox fan since he was knee-high and was looking for a cool Red Sox cap, but couldn't find a cool one around here.
Tonight I went bowling and wore my other Red Sox cap (the blue one with the Sox and B). A young guy bowling in the lane next to me came up to me and said, "You a Red Sox fan?" This began a long conversation about our loyalty to the Red Sox, the beautiful city of Boston and the latest happenings of the Red Sox. Turns out he is from Boston and returning there soon to start college!
It is shocking that my Red Sox cap caused two complete strangers to approach me and start a conversation with me. Be careful what's on your head! Apparently people take notice! For whom or what are you advertising?
