Am I Missing Something Here? Part II

A couple of days ago, I saw something that made me laugh rather heartily. As I think about it more, however, I am completely befuddled by it. I can't seem to come to terms with it, so I figured that I would just shoot it out into cyberspace and see if I got a reaction.

I saw a man wearing a camoflage sweatshirt and a large, black cowboy hat with silver accents.

I readily admit that I am overthinking this. And contrary to popular opinion, I do have a life and many other things going on in it. Still, I thrive on these sorts of things...it's like a puzzle or something.

What gets me is this: camoflage purports to make one blend in. A cowboy hat, worn in a city setting, tends to make one stand out. Was this just his way of playing hard to get?

I don't know...it was lost on me.

You need explore the phenomena no further than to acknowledge that it was a guy. The sweatshirt was, more than likely, the only item of clothing not in the laundry. The hat happened to be by the door.

One of these days I will learn that I should just defer to you on such matters. What you say makes perfect sense. I mean, I could somewhat understand the camo (although it is not, to my knowledge, a legal hunting season right now). It was the hat that really threw me, though.
