No-one ever said anything strange or disparaging about it.

I can only say that either Netherlanders are more accepting people than Texans or at least your friends/family/coworkers aren't as jerky as mine

I solved that problem by never leaving it at home

I even take it to the ballet or opera, though I have been talked into leaving it in the trunk of the car a few times.

Do you take your hat to the opera, too? You know, the one in your avatar.

How about the question of 'how many ebooks can use the same electron before the electron is worn out?'

I carry a backpack where ever I go. It helps me keep things like my glucometer, glucose tablets, and something to snack on (if I have a hypoglycemic incident) nearby. No one has yet said anything about it.

Of course I do. I had people who claimed to be authorities ask me to take it off, but they wouldn't show me their stinkin' badges.

And a handsome hat it is, too! Although the face underneath it appears to be somewhat troubled, as if experiencing some sort of gastrointestinal distress.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Well, when's the next sale?

After purses and hats, the only thing left to talk about is the scarcity of buffalo nickels, which would be a strange subject indeed.

No badges, no authority

I personally never noticed those things when I still went by public transport. I always had a book in front of my eyes
