I simply must mention this incident to you guys. A colleague of mine has a mini afro, in the progress of becoming a full-blown afro. He had one of those Chinese hats on-you know, the wide cone-shaped ones that go hand in hand with Asian workers in a rice field-and just for few seconds, he took it off. AND THEN HE HAD A CONE SHAPED AFRO! I found this to be a true case of "hat hair".
