Some uses for a beret

I like berets.

Here are some uses for them I’ve found so far:

1. keeping the rain off
2. keeping the sun off
3. keeping warm
4. keeping cool
5. an excellent light-shade when sleeping, without interfering with breathing
6. looking like a surrealist
7. covering your nose when your dog or cat breaks wind
8. or your children, or wife (ahem)
9. carrying acorns or nuts on foraging expeditions
10. grabbing a hot pot when cooking in the wilds
11. looking like a montagnard
12. maintaining appropriate anonymity
13. going to Waitrose and being discreetly stared at
14. challenging Wise Kaplan (TM) in weird cool stakes
15. being colourful

More to come.
