A friend of mine just took a drive from New York’s Adirondacks to South Carolina and back.
He says one thing he noticed is that conversation in America boils down to the three “g”s — God,
Gays and Guns. “Wherever I went that’s all people were talking about.” He also noticed that
Americans are wearing small hats. While their clothing has gotten bigger over the years to
accomodate larger bodies, according to a
SizeUSA survey, their hats appear
to have shrunk. “I can’t figure out why,” he says, “but I think it’s because these days the average
American head turns out to be the size of a softball.”
