I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw it. Why don't they put the straps under their chins. It's a tradition thing!

I want to say it's to keep the hat from blowing off while riding horseback. Why it's on the chin like that, I have no idea. (anti-strangulation? Military tradition? Aliens.)

I believe the English do it with their hats as well. Canadians? Maybe it's a British realm thing. :king: :queen:

Thanks TheAP - I know it's only the 25th there. Perhaps I could get on a plane and fly there tomorrow. That way, I'll get 2 Birthdays and double the presents :) (actually, I'm not going to get any presents - I'm all alone and Boo's got no money.)

If I did fly there and have 2 Birthdays, I wonder if that would then make me 50? :D

Sure, you can have 2 birthdays. Here are lots of presents for you:Image
You can imagine whatever you want to be in them.

2 birthdays a year, huh? The downside to that is you get old faster. But soon you'll end up being the youngest-looking 80-year-old around!

Oh and I've never seen people wear their hats like that before.

In one of my previous jobs, we had to wear ties. They had to be the clip on ones. Someone tried to pull mine to strangle me once. It came off in his hand. You should have seen the expression on his face. LOL :D

I wish I could transfer that image in my mind of his expression to a photograph

Speaking of only being the 25th there!

Do you know what drives me nuts about writing programs that deal with dates?

You guys write dates in the format of MM/DD/YYYY and we write them in the format of DD/MM/YYYY.

Makes life VERY difficult for an Aussie programmer

Obviously, if you get a date like 02/23/2015 it's obvious, it's American (because there is no 23rd Month) BUT if you get a date like 03/02/2015, you never know if it's the 2nd of March or the 3rd of February
