I walked by my window the other day and had to do a double take.
Across the road on our neighbor’s organic vegetable farm, the seasonal workers were weeding a garden patch. Most summers there are Mexican field hands, but because of the new immigration policies of He Who Will Remain Nameless… this year the workers are Jamaican.
Now, I’ve never been to Jamaica.
But I’m going to go out on a limb here…
And say this isn’t their new fashion trend.
Yes, that is what you think it is.
Cardboard.
With a hole in the middle for your head.
I particularly like the fact that he flipped up the cut out hole section.. and left it there. Like a pot lid.
Jamaican cardboard hats.
Coming to a mall near you?
Remember… you saw it here first.
Maybe they didn’t know they’d be working outside…

Maybe they thought it was seasonal desk work. Or, indoor gardening… if you know what I mean…

But… but… there were no humans on the planet yet. Who wore the hats?

Surely not the T-Rex, not with their short arms.

I was in Jamaica last year and those were all the rage. However, they’ve now gone out of style and are so 2018. 😉

That’s a shame. Makes me wonder what replaced them..

I was going to say that I’ve been to Jamaica 5 times and never seen them, but then again, I haven’t been in about 5 years, so I must have missed the trend. You know how “here today, gone tomorrow” fashion is.

Now all they need are some vegetable (get it? Farmer & vegetables?) coloring to make them a bright red (tomatoes) orange (carrots), etc.
Hey, people use to wear straw hats for protection from the sun, why not cardboard hats!?

Hmm. I guess that’s got purpose. Or craziness. Hard to tell sometimes.
Last week, these two fellas stopped in our work lot and were there for a long, long time. I went out and one approached me, asked if he could rummage our garbage bin for a funnel. One of the ladies had a funnel in her car. No worries, the fella said, and he took a cardboard box from our trash, fashioned a funnel, poured in Gatorade colored liquid and drove away. I would never think…
